Enkianthus Campanulatus Red Bells 20 Litre Pot 140cm Tall

Enkianthus campanulatus 'Red Bells' is a deciduous shrub known for its elegant bell-shaped flowers and vibrant autumn colour, making it a standout choice for UK gardens. It typically grows to a height of 2-3 metres (6-10 feet) and has an upright, multi-stemmed form.

Key Features:

• Flowers: In late spring to early summer (May to June), it produces clusters of small, pendant, bell-shaped flowers that are a deep red to pinkish-red in colour. These nodding flowers, resembling miniature lanterns, are the plant's most striking feature and attract pollinators like bees.
• Foliage: The narrow, oval leaves are a lush green in summer but turn stunning shades of yellow, orange, and red in autumn, providing a vibrant seasonal display.
• Growth Habit: This shrub has a graceful, tiered branching structure, adding elegance to garden borders or woodland settings.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Thrives in partial shade but can tolerate full sun if provided with moist, well-drained soil. It is well-suited to woodland gardens or sheltered spots where it can benefit from dappled sunlight.
• Soil: Prefers acidic, humus-rich soils with good drainage. It's an excellent choice for gardens with ericaceous soil, similar to those preferred by rhododendrons and camellias.
• Watering: Requires regular watering, especially in the early stages of growth, to maintain the soil's moisture without waterlogging.
• Hardiness: Hardy throughout the UK, tolerating cold winters.

Landscape Uses:

'Red Bells' is ideal for woodland gardens, shrub borders, or as an accent plant in a partially shaded garden. Its striking flowers and vibrant autumn colours make it a highly ornamental addition. It pairs well with other acid-loving plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons, and pieris.

This shrub is valued for its year-round interest, providing lovely blooms in spring and striking autumn foliage
