Description

Enkianthus campanulatus, also known as the Pink Bellflowered Andromeda, is an unusual bush with flowers in the shape of small bells in a pinkish flesh colour gathered in pendulous clusters. It blooms from May to June. It quickly reaches a height of 1.50m (4ft 11in) and with age, can reach up to 2m (6ft 7in) in height.

Enkianthus has deciduous foliage that is bright green and turns bright red in autumn. It requires an acidic soil and should be planted in peat soil.

 

Originally from Japan and southern China, it has good hardiness and should be planted in part shade in a humus-bearing, moist and light soil. Easy to grow, it is however sensitive to cold and drying winds. Enkianthus campanulatus is cultivated in flower beds, woods, copses or thickets. It is suitable for small gardens as well as terraces, placed in pots.
