Flowering Period

This exciting Chinese Fringe Tree, flowers from May until July and creates the most eye-catching specimen shrub. Slow growing and petite, this hardy tree generates an abundance of sweet-smelling white blooms, that create graceful dangling petals, above a multi-stemmed habit of fresh green foliage. As Autumn approaches its flowers will transform into berries and its green leaflets will begin to turn golden. Fabulous for adding into woodland and low maintenance schemes, your Chionanthus will reach a wonderful height of 6m, along with a spread of 3m. Much loved for its attractive peeling bark and food source for birds, this tree is a must have!

Growing Information

Suitable for hot and sunny, sheltered locations with well-draining soil. Unsuited to windy or exposed sites. Water and mulch well during the establishment phase and any dry periods, especially in the first couple of seasons.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
