Growth Habit: 6-8 foot shrub
USDA Zone: 4-9
Exposure: filtered to full sun
Growing Conditions: moist, well-drained acidic soils
Comments: Red buds first appear in winter and hold until they open in May to reveal soft, shell pink color on the lobes with white in the center. The opening flowers provide a great contrast to the still tight red buds. Glossy, evergreen foliage with wavy or twisted leaves provide interest year-round.
