 Large showy, semi-double rose-pink flowers have variegated petals and a ruffled center where the stamens have turned into modified petals. The flowers come out in April and May on a large plant growing to 8 ft tall with deep-green glossy foliage. A wonderful plant for specimen or planted in groups to make a hedge. Often used in Asian themed gardens. Hardy to zone 8. Moderately slow growing.
