Read detailed description :

Fairly fast-growing and very floriferous plant.Cascades of light pink flowers in April-May in long, narrow and hanging clusters. Its dark purple wood contrasts well with its flowering and foliage. The foliage is thin and light green. The leaves seems very lightweight in summer and they turn yellow in autumn. It quickly takes the shape of a beautiful shrub or a small bushy tree, often branched from the base and that can spread out when mature. The end of its upright branches droops with elegance and lightness. Very healthy and easy to grow. It resists to sea spray, wind and heat. It will grow in any soil that is not too heavy, even dry, cool, temporarily flooded, sandy or gravelly soils.
