Comments:
Early spring foliage is a rich, red that contrast with the abundant, fragrant, white flowers. This large shrub has a soft, natural character when not too severly pruned. It is very susceptible to fireblight, root fungus and entomosporum leaf spot. These problems reduce its desirability for use in the landscape, especially the Gulf South.
