What is Enkianthus campanulatus

Enkianthus campanulatus or Sarasa dodan (scientific name: Enkianthus campanulatus) is a deciduous shrub endemic to Japan and belongs to the azalea family Ericaceae. It grows naturally in rocky areas in the deep mountains of Hokkaido, Honshu and Shikoku. In early summer, it produces about 10 flowers downward from the tips of its branches. The flowers are pale red with red vertical stripes. The corolla is bell-shaped with five shallow lobes at the tip.
