In spring, it’s bedecked with a profusion of vibrant pink blossoms, offering an early nectar source for pollinators. These blossoms are contrasted beautifully by the dense, rich green foliage, which remains vibrant throughout the growing season.
This cultivar is renowned for its rounded and lush growth habit, typically reaching a manageable size of around 15 to 20 feet in height, making it a popular choice for small gardens and landscapes.

Arundel Arboretum is a shrub and tree retail nursery with over 40 years of experience.
About Us
During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
