Enkianthus campanulatus

Redvein Enkianthus

This Japanese native is attractive in spring, when clusters of pendulous bell-shaped flowers appear, and in fall, when leaves turn yellow, orange or red. Several cultivars are available with distinct flower colors. Plant Enkianthus with acid loving plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas. Broadens with age, so leave room to expand when planting. Prune only to remove dead branches. Feed with acid fertilizer.

A slow-growing shrub with hanging, red-veined bell-shaped flowers, and dark green whorled leaves which flame brilliant orange or red in fall. Flowers come in yellow-green or shades of white, pink, and red.
