An outstanding ornamental tree growing to 5m (16′) with a weeping or pendant shape. The flower buds are silver, grey or white, opening in the spring to reveal a stunning and profuse display of bright pink and red flowers against the blue-grey leaves. The pendular, urn shaped, silver coloured seed capsules extend the beauty and appeal of this very special tree through the summer.

Quick growing and early flowering, this decorative tree makes a wonderful ornament whether in an open space or standing over a fence or garden wall and provides good nectar flow for birds. New branches and stems are silver-white, the trunk and base are covered in reddish-brown bark which flakes away to reveal new green bark beneath.
