Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Snow Cream' (Giant Leaf Paper Plant)

Part Sun to ShadeZone: 7b-10, colder with protection 72" tall Origin: China

Web-Only! New crop available 7-24-2008 This stunning member of the daphne family is one of our most prized plants in the garden. All summer, the 6' tall x 6' wide umbrella-shaped clump, supported by a smooth brown trunk, is adorned with plumeria-like leaves. The foliage drops in mid-December to reveal both the wonderful bark and the large silvery flower buds. The flower buds open steadily from mid-January to early April, producing an overwhelmingly fragrant display of pendent golden yellow flowers. E. chrysantha is much more winter hardy (below 0 degrees F) than E. papyrifera, and much easier to grow. We have finally named the clone we selected for large foliage and flowers and have sold without a cultivar name for the last decade. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
