A deciduous small tree or large shrub known for its showy, pink, star-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring. Its medium green foliage emerges in spring and turns brilliant red to purple in fall, providing multi-season interest. In late summer, it may produce small, red fruit that attracts birds. Its naturally rounded growth habit makes it an elegant specimen for gardens, mixed borders, or as a focal point in the landscape.
This tree grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is hardy, low maintenance, and adds early-season colour and ornamental appeal.
