Product Description
Edgeworthia chrysantha is a winter flowering gem that is named after Michael Pakenham Edgeworth, who collected this astonishing shrub in the Himalayas and brought it back to Britain in the mid-1800s. Cinnamon coloured branches provide a stunning contrast to the 5cm diameter clusters of fragrant, cheerful yellow flowers that are covered in silky white hairs, making them look frosted when in bud. The sunny yellow blossom is a delightful addition to the winter garden, where this hardy shrub rarely succumbs to pests and disease. We recommend planting in sunny or partially shaded borders or containers in a sheltered spot, where these striking plants will reach a mature height of 2m. The blooms can also be cut and brought indoors as part of an enchanting floral display. 1.5 litre pot plants supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Apply mulch in late summer as the weather begins to cool down. Very little pruning is required for this plant - however, you can prune lightly if you require to remove damaged branches that are restrictive. Plant on arrival in a sheltered location in full sun or partial shade. To plant, dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the entire root ball. Do this until the top of the soil from the module is just below the top of the pot. Fill around the modules with soil and firm them down gently.
