FRANKLINIA alatamaha "Ben's Best"
 
Please note: This item is currently sold out and not available for sale. If you are interested in this item and wish to know when it will be back in stock, please call 732-833-0613 or send us an email. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Description: This highly ornamental small tree was found along the banks of the Alatamaha River in Georgia by John Bartram in 1770, and has never been discovered in the wild since. Lovely white camellia-like flowers with golden centers bloom from July through September. Its culture is similar to that for rhododendrons; humus-rich, acid soil with excellent drainage is required. Protection from strong winds is also advised. "Ben's Best" is a particularly vigorous form. Sorry but we cannot guarantee this item.
