Large, dense, white flower clusters are held upright above the dark green oak leaf-shaped foliage. The midsummer blooms develop a rosy-pink hue in the fall as the leaves turn deep red-bronze. Tan-brown exfoliating bark is attractive in the winter. An excellent landscape specimen or foundation plant. Useful as a flowering hedge plant. Deciduous.
