Plant description
A compact form of the popular species, ‘Prettycoat’ has dark green leaves that contrast beautifully against the springtime clusters of pretty pinkish-white bell-shaped flowers that hang in pendant racemes from red stems. One for acidic conditions where it will thrive, spectacular autumn colours of bright reds and oranges will close the season in a fiery display.

How to care for Enkianthus campanulatus Prettycoat ('Jww10') (PBR):
Apply a thick 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of ericaceous compost or well-rotted leafmould around the base of the plant in spring. Little pruning is needed. Simply remove dead and diseased wood and branches that are crossing after the plant has flowered.
Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
