Flowering Period
| General Description |
| A compact deciduous shrub with white blooms that change to pink, finally maturing to strawberry red when temperatures drop in late summer. |
| Landscape |
| Works well in a mixed shrub border or as a lawn specimen or accent that adds late summer interest. |

| Shape |
| Compact shrub. |
| Growth |
| Medium |
| Pests |
| Bud blight, bacterial wilt, leaf spot, rust and mildew may be a problem and aphids and mites can be occasional pests. |

| 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. |
