Grows from a large, densely branching shrub into a broad, ovoid, small tree with a height of about 5 m. The star-shaped flowers open around mid-April to mid-May. They are about 12.5 cm in size and consist of about 12 narrow petals that are a warm, light purplish red on the outside. The inside is light pink to whitish pink. Discovered by James Comber, head gardener of Nymans Gardens in Haywards Heath, Sussex, UK. Its small size makes it suitable for residential areas, squares and gardens.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
