Does it have any scent? Some deciduous ones do. We have several deciduous ones, in pink, yellow and orange. Then a whole bunch that are evergreen, with dark green leaves and red, purple or deep pink blooms.

Looks like it DOES drop all it's leaves, and what there are are not DARK green. ONLY this pale lavendar; would LOVE red and deep pink, but I'm 'just' a poor renter! so I live with it as is!
