Pink-leaved buckeye is a hasty performer. The new foliage is a startling salmon-pink.
The typical star-fish look of the foliage—just like that of its bigger, true-tree chestnut cousins—now looks like the starfishes have been parboiled to a lobster hue. It's a shock—a starfish bush.
But two or three days later, the pink shifts (alas) to bronze.

The only pink left is in the leaf-stems.
By Summer, the foliage is in full disguise of plain green.
My bush is young and spare, and (can you hear the fingers drumming on the table?) wow is it slow-growing. Someday this will be a bush with a higher profile, literally, and visible clear across the garden. Then it will command attention: We won't be able to blink.
