Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The abundant and extravagantly showy clusters of bright pink capsules opening to dark red seeds are the most attractive and attracting feature of the spindle tree, in autumn nearly covering this large, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub or small tree. Greenish flowers in June are not so vivid in themselves. In this form, the green 5" leaves are variegated with generous white markings, a standout in summer and again in autumn as they turn to spectacular reds, oranges, and yellows before dropping. Plants usually reach 10-12' tall but can go beyond to 15-20'. Best in sun to part shade with regular summer water at least to establish. Frost hardy to -20 °F, USDA zone 5.
