Disanthus Cercidifolius
From LoveToKnow Garden
Disanthus Cercidifolius - A native of Japan, and a near relative of the Witch Hazels. Like them, it is remarkable for the curious twisted petals of its weird-looking flowers. The most attractive period of this shrub is in the autumn, when the leaves assume a rich red-purplish hue. According to Professor Sargent, the color of the flowers is dark purple, while the fruit resembles that of the Witch Hazels. He also says: "In the autumn color of its leaves, Disanthus is one of the most beautiful shrubs I saw in Japan."
