Styrax japonicus Evening Light (@ UDel)

Styrax japonicus 'Evening Light' PP24168

Snowbell - Japanese

'Evening Light' Japanese Snowbell is an exciting new color break for this lovely small ornamental tree. The leaves emerge for a glossy purple in spring, followed be graceful hanging white bells. The growth habit is slow, resulting in an upright, vase shaped tree which fits well into small, sunny spots in the garden. When Styrax 'Evening Light' is in bloom, pollinators flock to the fragrant flowers. Found as a chance seeding by Henry Kolster of the Netherlands.

PRN Preferred: The purple spring leaves make a really showy setting for the multitude of delicate white bells.
