Edgeworthia chrysantha Grandiflora

Edgeworthia chrysantha Grandiflora, commonly known as the Paperbush or Oriental Paper Bush, is a stunning deciduous shrub renowned for its fragrant flowers and attractive foliage. Native to China, this plant belongs to the Thymelaeaceae family.

In late winter to early spring, before its leaves emerge, Paperbush blooms with clusters of small, rounded, golden-yellow flowers. These flowers are highly fragrant, emitting a sweet and spicy scent that fills the garden. The bloom clusters are quite showy and stand out against the bare branches, making it a delightful sight in the late winter garden.

The leaves of Edgeworthia chrysantha Grandiflora are long, narrow, and deep green, providing an elegant backdrop to the bright blooms. As the season progresses, the leaves turn a lovely yellow colour in autumn before dropping for winter.

This shrub typically grows to a height of 1.5 meters with a similar spread, creating a rounded and bushy form. It prefers well-draining soil and a partially shaded to sunny location.

Gardeners often use Edgeworthia chrysantha Grandiflora as a focal point in the garden, where its beautiful blooms and intoxicating fragrance can be appreciated up close. Additionally, the dried branches of this shrub are used in traditional paper-making in some cultures, adding to its historical and cultural significance.
