Enkianthus perulatus (dodan-tsutsuji) is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae, native to Japan. It is a compact, slow-growing, deciduous shrub eventually growing to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall and wide. Pendent umbels of pure white, bell-shaped flowers in spring are followed in autumn by brilliant red and yellow leaf colours.[1][2] Its leaves are ovate and medium to bright green in colour. It grows in sunny woodland areas.[3]
In cultivation this plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4]
It is the flower of Chizu, Tottori, where a doudan tsutsuji festival is held in May.[5]
