Quick Overview:

‘Hopi’ is one of several mildew resistant hybrids developed by the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., all of which have been given Native American tribe names. It is a deciduous, upright, spreading, multi-stemmed shrub. ‘Hopi’ is a compact cultivar which features dark green foliage turning dull reddish-orange in fall, grayish-brown bark which exfoliates with age and terminal, crepe-papery, 6-7" long inflorescences (panicles) of light pink flowers from mid-summer to early fall. Flowers give way to round seed capsules which often persist well into winter. In the South, this cultivar can easily be grown as a woody shrub with a maximum size of 15′ tall and 12′ wide.

Description

Best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Does well in loamy, clay soils with good drainage. Benefits from a slow release fertilizer. Overly fertile soils tend to produce lush foliage growth at the expense of flowering with somewhat increased susceptibility to winter injury.
