semibarbatum

Upright and wide-spreading deciduous shrubs with a somewhat tiered branching habit.  This looks quite different from any other species in the genus and is the only member of subgenus Mumeazalea.  The small and thin, shiny dark green, serrate-margined leaves are usually hairy.  The small white to white flushed pink flowers have red spots and hang beneath the foliage in early summer.  A little known but distinct, graceful and attractive species with bright fall color for the woodland garden (also tolerant of more sun).  Native to Japan where it is found in mountain forests.
