Red Paper BushEdgeworthia
Edgeworthia chrysantha ‘Akebono’ 
This remarkable Daphne relative offers an unprecedented late winter visual feast. Erect and thick, yet pliable, the smooth silver-laced naked branches congregate in a noteworthy open fashion and entertain prominent silky white buttonlike buds at their tips. Exploding from unique tightset clusters, a bevy of small waxy tubular blooms flaunt luscious tangerine orange shades and waft a pleasant fresh fragrance. Dark green, 4 in. long deciduous leaves populate branch apexes.
Native to Asia where the bark is prized for crafting high-class paper, ‘Akebono’s slow growing rounded form favors a shady, somewhat moist protected locale and lends an exotic panache to broad leafed shrubs such as Oakleaf Hydrangeas or Physocarpus ‘Coppertina’ in any garden.
Blooms late February to March Size: 5'–6' high x 4' wide; hardy to zone 7. AVAILABLE FALL 2013 Edgeworthia chrysantha ‘Akebono’ (S-0747)
Each $10.75
