A captivating display of red blooms and autumn foliage
Jan Iseli Red® Enkianthus Shrub boasts a stunning show of dark red, bell-shaped flowers that gracefully dangle from its elegant, upright branches. This medium-sized shrub is particularly eye-catching in spring and early summer when it blooms, creating a wonderful focal point in gardens and landscapes alike. As the seasons shift, its small, whorled green leaves transition to a deep, rich red in the fall, providing an impressive burst of color that brightens your yard even as other plants begin to settle into dormancy.
Native to Japan, this slow-growing shrub is remarkably pest-free and thrives best in moist, rich, acidic soil, making it an excellent addition to your garden. Its unique flower structure and seasonal color transformation not only appeal to the eye but also contribute to a diverse and vibrant ecosystem in your landscape, attracting pollinators and enhancing local biodiversity. Whether you’re looking to enrich a mixed border or create a serene focal point, this shrub combines beauty with a sense of tranquility that enhances your outdoor space.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a spot with well-draining, moist, acidic soil, preferably in full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and just as deep, loosening the soil at the bottom to promote healthy root growth. Place the shrub in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface, then backfill with soil, firming it gently around the roots.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially in the first few years as the plant establishes itself. During dry spells, check the moisture level and water accordingly. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely between waterings to promote healthy growth.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can also help encourage bushier growth and improve air circulation within the plant, promoting overall health.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. Follow package instructions for application rates, and consider reapplying once in midsummer to support the shrub through its growing season.
