Tricky to grow in the midwest; finally have success in 1/2 shade, in raised mounds well amended with peat, but killed 6 working out the culture here; late summer leaf spot noted for the first time last year; fall color variable.

Slow growing deciduous shrub. White flowers followed by buds which may be seed pods. Haven't tried to propagate it. Love the color!
