Calycanthus chinensis

Rarely found in gardens, Calycanthus chinensis deserves to be much more widely grown. This handsome deciduous shrub forms a bushy, medium sized plant cloaked in glossy, mid-green foliage that turns to buttery yellow in autumn. In early summer it bears white, camellia-like flowers up to 7cm (3) diameter that nod demurely from the tip of each stem. Height: 3m (10?). Spread: 4m (13?).
