Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The gorgeous, vase-shaped 4-8" flowers are a true cotton candy pink! Not only are they exquisitely beautiful, they also able to withstand some spring frost. This is a fine spreading tree which will eventually reach 30-50' making it quite a sight when in full bloom. No cottage garden should be without one! S/M
