White tepals fading to pink at base, 2-3 in. fruit with red seeds, with smooth, gray bark. Grows with a vase shape, but rounds with maturity.
Best grown in moist, fertile, slightly acidic, organically rich, well-drained loams in full sun to part shade. Intolerant of poor soils. Site in locations protected from strong winds to protect the foliage, but avoid southern exposures close to houses where the buds may be induced to open too early in Spring. Plants appreciate consistent and regular moisture throughout the year, and are generally intolerant of soil extremes (dry or wet). Appreciates mulching of the root zone.
