Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Rarely offered evergreen shrub to small tree. Grows slowly. Can reach 30 ft, but 15 ft is more reasonable in the garden. Closely related to Styrax, this collection from Yunnan is frost hardy in USDA zone 8 if planted where it gets even moisture over the summer and isn’t soggy in the winter. Long, narrow leaves are shiny green with bronze coloration in new growth. White bell flowers are abundant in spring when mature. Best in sun to part shade.

From the forests of southern China comes this rare evergreen tree/shrub. Attractive, long, glossy leaves emerge a lovely copper color before maturing to soft-green. This Styrax relative has bright-white, star shaped flowers that hang in clusters in spring. Graceful in habit, it will slowly reach 15-30' in height. Older specimens develop a lovely deep-brown exfoliating bark. A delightful addition to the landscape! S-PSh/M
