Another valuable genus from Japan, introduced as late as 1843. Shrubs of erect 

 habit while young, but gradually spreading and drooping as they acquire age. They 

 produce in June and July superb large trumpet-shaped flowers, of all shades and 

 colors, from pure white to red. In borders and groups of trees they are very effective, 

 and for margins the variegated-leaved varieties are admirably suited, their gay colored 

 foliage contrasting finely with the green of other shrubs. They flower after the lilacs in 

 June.
