| General Description | A compact deciduous shrub with white blooms that change to pink, finally maturing to strawberry red when temperatures drop in late summer. |
| Shape | Compact shrub. |
| Landscape | Works well in a mixed shrub border or as a lawn specimen or accent that adds late summer interest. |
| Propagation | Propagate through hardwood stem or tip cuttings, or from leaf bud cuttings of the current season's growth. |
| Cultivation | Grow in full sun or partial shade in a rich, well-drained, medium-moisture soil. Prune in late winter or early spring as bloom occurs on the current season's growth. |
| Pests | Bud blight, bacterial wilt, leaf spot, rust and mildew may be a problem and aphids and mites can be occasional pests. |
| Habitat | Horticultural origin. |
| Leaf Description | Leaves are dark green, ovate to oval and upright, tending to be sharply pointed. |
| Flower Description | Flowers grow on terminal panicles to 18 x 13 cm, emerging white, becoming pink and finally maturing to strawberry red. As new blooms emerge in late summer, joining the mature flowers, the plant produces a multicoloured effect. Flowers are sterile. |
| Texture Description | Somewhat coarse. |
