Common Name: Arnold's Pink Carolina Silverbell
Halesia tetraptera ‘Arnold’s Pink’ is a beautiful pink-flowering selection of Mountain Silverbell valued for its soft blush blooms and graceful habit. Oval green leaves emerge in spring, followed by abundant, bell-shaped flowers in mid-spring that open light pink and hang beneath the branches, creating a delicate display, and foliage turns yellow in fall. Its refined form and uncommon flower color make it an excellent specimen for woodland and naturalized settings.
