Edgeworthia chrysantha

Description

Edgeworthia chrysantha is an unusual and beautiful Chinese shrub which produces large nodding clusters of the most fabulously fragrant yellow flowers clothed in white silky hairs during late winter – just when we all need a lift and an excuse to walk down the garden! Zesty green and exotic ovate green leaves are produced in abundance during late spring.

Edgeworthia chrysantha require free draining soil in a semi-shaded position for best results.  Pruning is seldom necessary but over-crowded or mis-placed stems can be snipped out just after the flowering period.
