Enkianthus
This genus of elegant deciduous shrubs is in the family Ericaceae, whose members include rhododendron and blueberry (vaccinium). They are native to Japan and China, and the Himalayas. There are several species and a few more varieties which are grown for their clusters of bell shaped flowers in colors from pure white to deep red, as well as their graceful, usually upright plant form with clean, pest-free leaves and brilliant Fall color. Fruits are small dry capsules. They prefer moist acidic soil with good aeration similar to their rhododendron relatives in sun or partial shade.

(C8) An excellent variety with deep, solid, red flowers originating at Princeton Nurseries. Allentown, NJ. more info

ENKIANTHUS campanulatus 'Renoir'

ENKIANTHUS campanulatus 'Showy Lanterns'
(C8) Its bell-shaped flowers are larger than those of the wild type and are solid pink in color. Deep green leaves turn rich scarlet in autumn. 'Showy Lanterns' is also more densely branched to ground level. more info

ENKIANTHUS cernuus
(C) This species is somewhat similar to campanulatus, but smaller is all respects. White flowers. Habit appears to be less upright. more info

ENKIANTHUS cernuus var rubens
(C8) This species is some- what similar to campanulatus, but smaller in all respects. Beautiful, deep, solid red flowers. Habit is more spreading, as tall as wide. more info

ENKIANTHUS perulatus
(C) Rarely offered, this gem of a plant grows in a wide dome shape rather than columnar as E. campanulatus does. Fall color is screaming red. more info

ENKIANTHUS serrulatus
(C)Closely related to E. perulatus, but the corolla is campanulate (bell-shaped) rather than urceolate (urn shaped, contracted at the opening) and leaf edges are toothed. To the casual observer, it looks to be on steroids, all parts are larger more info
