Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Kwanzan' is a lovely specimen that puts on an incredible early season show with clusters of large, double deep pink blooms, all the more lovely as new leaves amerge a bronzy-red. Foliage matures to a rich green. It has an upright, vase-shaped habit and reaches about 20 to 25 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide.
