Description

The new leaves of this species are 2" long, bright green, and tinged with bronze. Its fall color is affected by the weather. While it has a bare outline, its rounded seed capsules add interest. Its delicate flowers bloom in 6"-12" long clusters. The colors of its flowers for different varieties are shades of red, rose, pink, purple, and white. It thrives on heat, and new cultivars have been created that resist mildew.
