A definitive award-winning shrub that lives up to its name. Carefree because of its superb disease resistance and natural hardiness, abundant bright green foliage and neat self-sustaining rounded habit. Wonderful because of its large flowers (unusual in the shrub category), radiant hot pink and white color combo and the ability to flower most all season long. Proven consistent performer. Hardy.
