Enkianthus perulatus 'Compacta' Dwarf Enkianthus

Dwarf enkianthus is perhaps one of the most elusive of all garden shrubs. These fascinating little specimens display small, white, urn-shaped flowers and brilliant, scarlet-red fall color. The original plant was raised in Harold Epstein’s garden where it managed less than an inch of annual growth for many years. This remarkable, 3’ wide, 80+ year old specimen was recently sold at auction and now resides in a happy home in western Connecticut. Over the years we have acquired a few specimens for our display gardens. Our largest is now 15 years old and measures less than 14” in width and 8” in height. Thankfully we’ve been able to root a few cuttings and now have a very limited number of plants available for sale.
