Corylopsis sinensis var. calvescens f. veitchiana | Chinese Winter Hazel

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Corylopsis sinensis var. calvescens f. veitchiana produces graceful chains of soft yellow flowers in late winter to early spring, each bloom forming a small bell with gently frilled petals that hang along the bare branches. After flowering, broad oval leaves unfold in fresh green tones with lightly textured surfaces and soft veining, creating a full canopy through the growing season. The foliage often develops warm golden tones in autumn before falling.

This selection traces its origin to Corylopsis sinensis native to woodland regions of China. In gardens it adds early seasonal interest to woodland borders and shaded landscapes where the pendant flowers brighten the garden at the close of winter.
