‘Raspberry Sundae’ has fewer than usual arching side branches. It features dark green foliage turning orange in fall and crepe-papery, 6-9″ long inflorescences (panicles) of raspberry 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 plant can easily be grown as a woody shrub or trained as a small single trunk tree with a maximum size of 15′ tall.
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, however. Water roots deeply, particularly in dry spells, but avoid wetting the foliage. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
