Beautybush {Kolkwitzia amabilis} Ornate Flowering Shrub | Prizewinner  Bonsai | Privacy Shrub | Patio Favorite | 10 seeds Free Shipping!

 

A mesmerizing medium-sized deciduous shrub, prized for its beautiful 

appearance. From May to June the arching stems play host to masses of 

pale pink, trumpet-shaped blooms that contrast beautifully with the 

delicate yellow throat. These gather in abundant clusters on arching 

branches amongst simple green leaves. As the flowers fade, this dark

 green foliage makes an elegant backdrop for other summer-flowering 

shrubs and perennials. Beautiful enough to be awarded the prestigious

RHS AGM.

 

SOWING ADVICE

For best results, sow seeds as soon as you receive them onto a good 

soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to 

approximately their own depth. These seeds can be very slow indeed 

to germinate, and may wait for spring before emerging whenever sown. 

Do not use artificial heat to try to germinate them as it will simply 

disrupt their germination mechanism. Please be very patient, and 

do not discard the seed pan.
