In Fall, Fairy lights shines just like other japonicums going through all the fall colors with magnificence. Fall colors will range from bright yellow to then orange and then flaming scarlet red. Fairy lights forms a low growing tree with horizontal branches. Remaining small, it’s compact form makes it great for a smaller garden or a container.

Plants prefer cool summer conditions. Site in locations protected from strong winds. Stake trunk for more erect growth or leave alone for spreading effect.
