Abundant, lavender-pink flowers appear in early spring all along the dark, bare branches. Deep apricot-orange spring foliage matures to lemon-lime in summer, then gold in fall, making this a year-round focal point.  Tops out at an ideal size for an accent tree for a small yard or in a perennial bed. Attracts hummingbirds and butterflies; deer resistant.
