Common Name: Rosea Silverbelle
Halesia carolina ‘Rosea’ is a beautiful selection of Carolina Silverbell valued for its soft pink, bell-shaped flowers and graceful habit. Oval green leaves emerge in spring, followed by pendulous, pale pink flowers in mid-spring that hang beneath the branches, creating a delicate display, and foliage turns soft yellow in fall. Its refined structure and uncommon flower color make it an excellent specimen for woodland or naturalistic settings.
