A triumphant, pageant of color through the seasons. The new leaves, emerging intense wine-red, mature to a beguiling dusky reddish-blue. With summer comes an explosion of large panicles covered in deep pink florets. Autumn follows with its show of bright orange-red foliage. This gem was hybridized by Peter Drummer at Hiller Nurseries in Winchester, United Kingdom. ItÆs a cross between our native species C. obovatus and C. æVelvet CloakÆ. Place in partial to full shade and allow to mature to a large shrub.
The late J.C. Raulston had the inspiration of crossing the Asian Calycanthus sinensis with the native Calycanthus floridus. The result? A superlative plant with fast-growing, 8-inch tall branches covered with large, glossy, green leaves and hundreds of 2-inch, liver-red flowers. In bloom mid-April to May, this is one plant that we absolutely must have.
Also known as Daiswa polyphylla, from a remarkable genus of rare plants closely related to the Trillium. The utterly magical flowers are composed of broad green sepals and thread-like golden petals. They sit atop handsome and elegant whorls of narrow leaves on18-inch stems. The resulting small seedlings cross pollinate one another, creating striking heads of scarlet-orange fruit in late summer.
In midsummer, large, lacy heads of hydrangea-like flowers form along this cultivarÆs self-adhering stems, offering a moonlit display. With lovely pewter mottling on each heart-shaped leaf, this rarity is perfect for illuminating shadowy, difficult sites. Easily covers walls on the north side of the home or trunks of large trees.
In autumn the pretty, apetalous white spikes of flowers on tall stems result in startling powdery blue fruit that resemble airborne bunches of grapes. This Asiatic species, the counterpart to our Carolina and Tennessee native blue cohosh, has striking bi-pinnate foliage formed on branched petioles. The beauty of this little known charmer never fails to attract admiring attention.
A thrilling Trillium. The large, pure white, musk-scented flowers are held above handsome whorls of three large leaves on reddish-green stems. We raised the seedling-grown plants from lovely specimens in our garden. Closely allied to T. grandiflorum, it forms large colonies in partial to full shade in moist, humus-rich soil.
