Peach Drift is my personal favorite drift, and I've had all of them except for the hard-to-find Apricot Drift (which, if as productive as PD, could dethrone it). The color of the blooms is sublime, the perfect blend of coral, yellow, and orange resulting in a very soft "peachy" apricot color. The blooms are very long lasting and as they fade they fade to a fairly attractive bright coral color and drop the petals before they get ugly. Even in the heat of the summer Peach Drift is still pumping out cluster after cluster. Disease resistance is very good - since each drift is bred from different parents (usually The Fairy is in the parentage somewhere) it does vary among the Drifts more than people think. They are all prone to powdery mildew though so keep a close eye on it in cool wet weather. Being in a pot in an open space definitely helps keep powdery off of it. Speaking of pots, the ONLY way (my opinion, of course) to truly appreciate the graceful habit is in a pot. Once these settle in and reach full size they spill out of the pot and the overall visual impact is fabulous. They can be tricky to deadhead as they are smaller plants and cutting whole clusters can remove significant amounts of foliage but they respond well and just keep on blooming. The only knock against the bloom I can come up with is that the petal count is on the low side - which may in fact help it stay so productive since each bloom takes less time and resources to make. Apricot Drift is supposed to be nice and full but it makes me wonder if health or productivity has suffered as a result. I'll have to buy one and post a head-to-head review of the two next season!

I can't overstate how pretty this one is. If you like drifts, minis, and shrubs this could easily become your favorite like it has mine.
