Enkianthus campanulatus
redvein enkianthus, furin-tsutsuji, necklace shrub
Notes:
Leaves are crowded at branch ends. May get open at the base over time.
'Showy Lantern' stays dense to the base but is less hardy. It, 'Albiflorus' (white flowers, as the name implies), and 'Red Bells' have consistently good fall color.
