Enkianthus campanulatus

Enkianthus campanulatus, also known as pronkklokje or Japanese bellflower in Dutch, is a large to medium-sized deciduous shrub with a beautiful upright shape. This plant blooms in May with white-yellow bell-shaped flowers with pink-red markings, followed in autumn by green seed pods on long stems. The leaves are elliptical, pointed and toothed and turn from dull green in summer to deep red in fall. Enkianthus campanulatus likes a fairly moist soil and prefers acidic soil, the plant is hardy, needs little pruning and can also cope with some sea wind and air pollution.
