Description

Beauty Bush is a medium-sized deciduous shrub known for its vibrant display of pink trumpet-shaped flowers with yellow throats. These showy blooms appear in late spring, covering the plant’s widely arching branches. Beauty Bush’s green deciduous foliage complements the flowers, with the pointy leaves turning a soft yellow in the fall. Its upright, spreading habit gives it a leggy appearance, which makes it a great choice for underplanting. When paired with other plants, it creates an eye-catching addition to your garden for a single season of spectacular color.

For best results, Beauty Bush requires well-drained soil and full sunlight. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but it benefits from being surrounded by other plants with either finer or coarser textures for balance. While it is valued for its abundant spring blooms, Beauty Bush’s open form makes it most effective when underplanted with other seasonal plants to fill in its gaps. It is ideal for those in Massachusetts looking to add a pop of color during late spring.

Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
