Be Inspired: How to Use this Plant
| Bloom Time | Winter to early spring |
|---|---|
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Non-toxic to Cats and Dogs |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Growth Habit | Upright |
| Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Showy Flowers |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container, Espalier, Privacy Screen |
| Design Ideas | A must for Asian or woodland garden settings under large, old shade trees with filtered canopies. Plant as a backdrop in mixed beds or as a foundation plant in high visibility areas. Dress up a wall or garage as a shrub or train as an espalier for a formal look. |
| Flower Color | Pink |
| Foliage Color | Dark Green |
| Companion Plants | Pair this multi-colored bloomer with the big blooming, solid colors of Gardenia, Hydrangea, and Azalea. In a more natural woodland setting, combine with the airy foliage of Heavenly Bamboo and Bleeding Heart. Early blooming deciduous trees like Cherry and Dogwood offer the needed filtered shade and ground hugging perennials such as Fumewort, Coral Bells, and Clematis offer interest and color throughout all layers of the garden. |
| Care Instructions | Provide organically rich, well-drained, acidic soil. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Prune lightly to shape and feed with an acid fertilizer after flowering. |
