Corylopsis pauciflora | Buttercup Winter Hazel

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Corylopsis pauciflora produces dangling clusters of soft yellow flowers in late winter to early spring, each bloom shaped like a tiny bell with delicate fringed petals. The flowers hang from bare branches before the foliage appears, bringing gentle color at the end of winter. After flowering, rounded leaves unfold in fresh green tones with softly textured surfaces and lightly toothed edges, forming a graceful canopy through the growing season.

Native to woodland regions of Japan and Taiwan, Corylopsis pauciflora has long been valued in ornamental gardens. In landscapes it adds early seasonal interest to woodland borders and shaded plantings where the delicate flowers brighten the garden before spring growth begins.
