Description

Providing winter interest, Edgeworthia Chrysantha Grandiflora is a unique, deciduous shrub native to Japan and China. It is commonly referred to as 'Oriental Paperbush', a nickname derived from its historical use for paper-making in Asia. Edgeworthia Grandiflora is admired for its bright, buttery yellow flowers which bloom in the late winter to early spring. In the summer it also produces long, slender, green leaves. Lightly fragrant, the beautiful blossom and long, clear stems make Paperbush Grandiflora ideal for cutting and it will look lovely incorporated into a floral arrangement. Add some winter radiance to your garden by planting Edgeworthia Chrysantha Grandiflora as a specimen plant or as part of a mixed border.

This attractive winter flowering shrub prefers a sheltered position and a rich, loamy soil with good drainage. It can tolerate partial shade but prefers full sun for the most vibrant bloom. Its approximate height and spread is 1.5 x 1.5 metres in 20 years.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
