Description
Introduced in 1734 this is a well known native of the USA naturally ranging from North Carolina to Florida Arkansas and Texas.
From being associated with south facing wall plantings this wonderful evergreen has crept into the wider landscape in southern England in recent years with the advent of warmer summers and not so punishing winters.
Capable of becoming a medium to large tree if given full sun and a sheltered position it is a magnificent round headed specimen.
The large cream flowers which are delicately scented are borne through summer and into autumn set against dark green almost leathery leaves.
It does best in rich fertile soil and given this will tolerate lime.
