Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A vigorous large shrub or small tree with dark wine new growth and soft pink flowers. It can grow 3 to 4 feet or more in one growing season. Mature height may be 10 to 15 feet. Flowers appear in late June or early July and continue until frost. Rhapsody in Pink™ is seldom without flowers during the growing season. Flowering is prolonged because it is sterile or nearly so and new flower buds are formed on old flower panicles.
