Bobbing branches are loaded with tiny red and green leaves. Every time you move it, 'Beni hime' rewards you with a shimmering dance. Vibrating pink edges highlight multishaped, rich green leaves. This is a wonderful, finely branched shrub that should be planted where it can be enjoyed up close. The pink fades to cream, but not so rapidly or completely as on 'Butterfly'.
Fall colors are reds and are also distinctly two toned.
Flecked and infused with gold and cream variegation, this beauty adds grace to your garden. It starts the growing season a pale green that darkens as summer progresses. Rolling thunderstorms come to mind when one lies under this tree. Its white veined, black red leaves make a dark sky streaked with lightening. It is fast growing and has an upright form with mature branches that cascade downward.
