Origin: England. Small deciduous
tree or large shrub with a crown
which is initially vase- shaped,
sparse and upright, later
broadening out until becomes
round with the external branches
bending downwards slightly.
Elliptical leaves, 8-12cm long, with
dentate margins, medium green,
turning a beautiful shade of yellow
and orange in autumn. Early
flowering in March-April, flowers
are 4cm wide, double and grouped
in clusters, very bright pink
producing a very spectacular
effect. No particular requirements as regards soil, and needs to be lightly pruned after
the flowering (even though it does withstand severe pruning). It can be planted as a
free standing specimen, with other plants to form hedges or in flower borders. When
the branches are covered in buds they can be cut and arranged in vases where the
buds will open and stay in flower for quite a while.
