Plant of the week: Edgeworthia chrysantha (paperbush)

A relative of Daphne, paperbush is a deciduous shrub reaching 5′ in height and equally as wide. The leaves are large (4″ long) and blue-green giving the plant a tropical look in summer. The most stricking characteristic of paperbush is the fragrant, creamy-yellow, lemon-scented flowers in winter. In eastern North Carolina blooms can begin as early as late January and continue into late March. Paperbush requires moist, well-drained soils and can tolerate full sun to part shade.

Availiable in 3 gallon containers for $26.00
