Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An unusual and beautiful form with pink, white, and red flowers on the same plant, even on the same branch!; an upright medium-tall shrub. S/M
It's outstanding feature is that it may bear reddish-pink, white and pink flowers all on the same plant for an exciting floral display! A plant may not have red flowers every spring. Someone theorized that the plant must have an exact balance of trace minerals. Oddly enough, grafts and cuttings made from old plants usually don't have red flowers for a few years. Upright growth habit. Very large fruit.

This upright grower will have pink, white and red- all on the same plant and at the same time. Try this interesting Japanese plant.
Profuse combinations of pink and white and even sometimes red appear on the same branch. An upright, rapid grower. Stunning!
