Read detailed description :

This variety is more compact and shrub-like than the others of its type. Even rarer and so more precious in a garden. With age, it may form a small tree, if the lower branches are discarded, enhancing the colourful, peeling brown-yellow bark . Perfumed white flowers appear in August, and due to the pinky-red calyxes formed in autumn, the plant will stay decorative until October. The graphic and original leaves get yellow tints in autumn.
