Edgeworthia Paperbush

The Edgeworthia Paperbush is a medium-sized shrub that has remarkable yellow blossoms in late winter. These hang on the bare branches and flood the garden with an exotic perfume, creating a sight and smell you will love. Throughout the winter the flower clusters are large, and silvery-white with a dense covering of white hairs. This plant has not been available for very long in the US, although it has been grown in Europe for a long time. Although rare, the Edgeworthia Paperbush is easy to grow in warmer parts of the country, in shade or sun, and makes an exciting addition to your garden. If you want something very different, but something that is also easy to grow, this is the plant for you.

• Amazing display of yellow flowers in late winter
• Attractive silver flower buds all winter
• Fills the garden with perfume
• Grows well in full or partial shade, as well as in sun
• Rarely seen in gardens, but easy to grow

Plant your Edgeworthia Paperbush in a sheltered part of the garden if you live in cooler areas, and in a shady spot in warmer zones. Add plenty of organic material to the soil, but otherwise this plant is easy to grow and has no pests or diseases. It will grow steadily into a bush about 6 feet tall and 4 or 5 feet wide. Although not widely known, this is a ‘must have’ plant for everyone who sees it – a real winner in any garden.
