Description

Enkianthus perulatus ‘J. L. Pennock’ represents the first distinctive selection of this plant for spectacular and early purple-to-red fall color. Spring brings white flowers to this pest- and disease-resistant shrub. A fine twiggy habit and restrained growth rate (7’ high x 10’ wide) would delight any home gardener. Plant Enkianthus in full sun to partial shade and acidic soil. Hardy in zones 5 to 7.
