View prices and availability
Grows from a shrub into a small, multi-stemmed tree with a broad, somewhat irregular, round crown. When maturing the branches may hang down a little, making the crown wider than it is high. The leaves are dark green and turn purplish pink in autumn. Each head of inconspicuous flowers is surrounded by seven or eight white bracts. These vary in size and shape, making the flowering pattern decorative and full. The plant is shallow rooting with a fibrous root system and requires humic soil, which is not too dry.
