This deciduous shrub, native to East Asia (China, Japan, Korea), is valued for its large, exotic flowers and its long blooming period from summer to autumn. 'Hamabo' has received the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eRHS Award of Garden Merit\u003c\/strong\u003e due to its outstanding performance in gardens, making it ideal for borders, hedges, or as a solitary plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"auto\"\u003eAppearance of leaves, flowers, and fruits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves\u003c\/strong\u003e: The leaves are deciduous, \u003cstrong\u003edark green\u003c\/strong\u003e, ovate or three-lobed, with toothed edges, 7-10 cm long.
