Product description
Enkianthus ‘Pagoda’ is a deciduous spreading shrub with a bushy habit and oblong, finely-toothed green leaves that appear on upright stems. Come summer (May to June), the bush will release striking bell-shaped cream flowers with deep pink flushed veins in numerous drooping clusters.
When autumn comes around, the green foliage will shift its hue to rich shades ranging from reds and oranges to warm yellows, putting on an eye-catching late year display.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Mulch around the base with pine needles or bark to maintain soil acidity and moisture while suppressing weeds.
How to Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in winter as the plant enters dormancy.
How to Plant
Plant Enkianthus in acidic, well-drained soil in partial shade or full sun. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, loosen the soil, and mix in organic matter. Place the plant at the same depth as in its pot, fill in with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly.
