    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This is the most compact cultivar yet of this Chinese witch hazel family member. Surprisingly hardy even though it looks like some tropical plant with its red foliage. Late spring brings profuse many petaled pink flowers for a visual feast. Dense and wider than tall, evergreen.
