Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dainty 1/2" white-prettily-tinted-with-pink flowers and its low-growing habit make this easy-going mini a natural for bonsai or container. S/M
This deciduous shrub blooms with pink, white, red, & combinations of the same on the same branch! A must have for color in the early spring. Has an upright, rounded habit with spiny branches of green leaves. The flowers will mature to small fruits that will ripen in October. The fruits are very bitter raw, but can be cooked for preserves and jellies.
White, light pink and dark pink blossoms spring, green-yellow fruit fall, deer resistant. USDA zones 5-9.
A dwarf form of C. 'Toyo Nishiki' with the same pink, white and dark pink flowers. This fun plant makes a surprise each spring with its blooms changing color. Makes an excellent bonsai.
