Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The pendulous branches of this neat rounded shrub (to 7') are covered with clusters of nodding white bells (w yellow clappers!) in late spring; a lovely addition to the garden palette alone or with azaleas and kalmias. PSh/M
White fragrant bell shaped flowers June, yellow fall color. Layered shrubby shape. Zones 5-8.
Carillon is a spreading weeping Styrax.
A moderate grower which can reach 10' in 10 years. This particular cultivar requires a protected area to reach its full potential. It forms a weeping mound but can be staked for height. The white bell-like flowers hang delightfully. Quite rare!
