CALYCANTHUS (AKA SINOCALYCANTHUS) chinensis
|
Description: One of the newest shrubs known to western horticulture,
having been in the United States for less than 30 years. Quite
different from our native, it has larger leaves to 10" long and
6" wide of a lettuce green color. The flowers are about 3"
across, white, looking somewhat like that of a Camellia or
Stewartia. The aging flowers often develop tins of light pink. It will grow to about 10' tall and grows best out of
direct sun.
