Enkianthus <\/strong>–<\/p>\n

There are about 10 species of mainly deciduous shrubs, rarely evergreen, occasionally trees, in this genus. They occur in scrub and woodland from the Himalayas to Japan. They are grown for their terminal umbels or corymb like racemes of white, pink, or red, bell or urn shaped flowers, usually 1\/4-3\/8″ long, borne from mid spring to early summer, and for their simple, lance shaped to elliptic-obovate, usually toothed, alternate leaves, which turn various shades of orange and red in autumn. These plants are best grown in an open site in a woodland garden.<\/p>\n

Grow in humus rich, moist but well drained, acidic to neutral soil in full sun or partial shade.<\/p>\n
