CORYLOPSIS glabrescens 'Longwood Chimes' |
||||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Parks/Longwood Gardens Description: In 1983, Dr. Clifford Parks of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill collected seeds of Corylopsis glabrescens on the Ebino Highland in southern Kyushu, Japan. The seeds were then distributed to the US National Arboretum and in 1985 Longwood Gardens received three seedlings from that Arboretum. Of these three, one seedling was selected as an outstanding specimen for the Gardens, because it has flowers and inflorescences larger than typical for this species. Its flowers are exceptionally fragrant and open about two weeks later than most other corylopsis. This cultivar was named ‘Longwood Chimes’ because the original specimen grows near the Chimes Tower in the Gardens. | ||||
