About Edgeworthia chrysantha 4 Litre Pot 40/60cm

Edgeworthia chrysantha – Winter Sunshine & Fragrance

Edgeworthia chrysantha, also known as the Paperbush, is a rare and highly ornamental shrub that brings cheer to the winter garden. From late winter into early spring, its bare, cinnamon-brown stems are studded with rounded clusters of golden-yellow, tubular flowers. Each bloom releases a sweet, honey-like fragrance that carries on crisp winter air, attracting early pollinators and delighting garden visitors.

Once flowering is over, large, velvety, tropical-looking leaves emerge, giving the plant a lush, exotic presence through the summer. In autumn, the foliage turns shades of soft yellow before falling, revealing the shrub’s elegant branching structure once more.

Perfect as a specimen in a sunny, sheltered border, near a path, or in a winter garden where its perfume can be appreciated up close, Edgeworthia is hardy, low-maintenance, and thrives in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Why Choose Edgeworthia chrysantha?

  • Winter Flower Power – Blooms from late winter to early spring.

  • Fragrant & Attractive – Sweet scent and glowing colour.

  • Exotic Appeal – Lush foliage and elegant form.

  • Wildlife Friendly – Early nectar source for pollinators.
