Its open habit reveals an internal framework of beautiful dark mahogany branches. Copper-red new growth matures to pewter-gray-green foliage that sets off dainty clusters of rose-pink flowers - beautiful color all around.

Selected by the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, a hybrid between pajaroensis and possibly obispoensis. 

In our garden, it is planted on the north side of a gentle slope with shade from Fagus sylvatica 'Red Obelisk'. Given the shade, it has exceeded expectations but we do not expect it to grow much taller than 4-ft. We were lucky enough to see it grow down in California and marvel at its height of at least 7-ft. 

Mature size: 6-8 ft T x W

Minimum temperature: 5° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
