Enkianthus campanulatus ‘Red Bells’ is a beautiful and unusual ornamental shrub, supplied as an XL approximately 50–60cm tall established plant in a substantial 5 litre pot. With its attractive branching habit and established size, it is an excellent choice for instant gardening, bringing immediate structure and interest to borders and woodland-style planting.
‘Red Bells’ is particularly prized for its clusters of delicate bell-shaped reddish-pink to deep red flowers, which hang gracefully from the branches during late spring and early summer. Fresh green foliage provides an attractive backdrop before developing spectacular red, orange and fiery autumn shades later in the season.
This elegant deciduous shrub is ideal for mixed borders, woodland gardens, Japanese-inspired planting and alongside Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Acers. It performs particularly well in acidic to neutral, humus-rich soil and is an excellent choice for adding both flowering and autumn interest.

Please note: Enkianthus is deciduous, so plants will naturally lose their leaves during autumn and winter and may arrive without foliage when purchased during the dormant season. Plant height, shape, branching, foliage, flowering and autumn colour will vary naturally according to the individual plant, season and growing conditions. Flowering is seasonal and cannot be guaranteed at the time of dispatch. Plants are carefully selected before leaving our nursery.
