An upright, deciduous shrub or spreading tree to 8m tall, with leaves divided into 3 lance-shaped leaflets. In mid-and late spring, before the leaves emerge, it bears pendent clusters of bell-shaped, 1.5cm long white flowers with a pink tint. These later develop into bladder-like, green seed pods which turn pink and red in autumn. Grow in a shrub border or woodland garden

Watering

Moderate regular watering, allowing brief slight drying between soakings

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by sowing seed in containers in a cold frame in autumn. Take greenwood cuttings in early summer or semi-ripe cuttings in midsummer, both with bottom heat
