Kolkwitzia amabilis
Beauty Bush "Oriental Tale"
The plant is an arching, spreading shrub, with brown flaky bark and graceful hanging branches that can grow up to eight feet tall. It is usually as wide as it is tall. The plant blooms in late spring and early Summer. Its pink flowers are about one-inch long and bell-shaped, growing in showy, numerous clusters. Leaves are dark and oval shaped. Seeds of this quickly growing plant will germinate in 1 to 2 weeks, and once it is large enough, it responds very well to pruning.
