Although it is from Nepal it is not as cold tolerant as E. chrysantha or E.papyrifa. I have never watered my edgeworthia, even during the extended drought and high temperatures this past summer and fall. It gets some morning sun, much more in winter. My climate in South East Bulgaria in winter seems the same as you describe yours but I am wondering if Edgeworthia Chrysantha is to survive colder winters with a friend in Ukraine which is more North (US zone 6a to 5b) where one is planted. As you can see, one of our problems in this area is alternating warm and freezing but Edgeworthia has not let me down. I’m writing because I’m on the cusp of pruning it, something that part of me is loath to do. I have one I got many years ago, edgeworthia papyrifea, zone 7a coastal as it’s a small island off RI. Buds came out around December last year and looked healthy until early March. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. If you want to return to my blog’s homepage to access the sidebar information (catalogues, previous articles, etc.) The fact that it has buds in its new location after the traumas you describe is a testament to its resilient nature. Edgeworthia chrysantha is one such, rewarding good soil cultivation and careful placement with beautifully fragrant blooms from winter to early spring. I've been watching a couple other patches around town for less time and they too look perfect. This edgeworthia in bloom won a blue ribbon in March of 2016 at the Philadelphia Flower Show, the world’s largest indoor flower show. Edgeworthia chrysantha, commonly called paper bush, is a compact deciduous shrub that blooms in late winter through early spring. It has a more vase shape in this garden. After that happened, we had a series of zone 6 winters. Carolyn’s Shade Gardens, January 2015. Like the first photo, it shows the lovely rounded habit that can be achieved through judicious pruning and a part sun location. My edgeworthia never receives any extra water, and it is very hot and dry in PA in the summer (usually). Carolyn, The Edgeworthia I bought from you in 2012 (I think) is doing well in an area of dappled shade most of the day. Its crowning glory is the clusters of fragrant, tubular yellow flowers, borne in spherical heads 1.5in to 2in across and covered in silky white hairs that make them look frosted when in bud. I am definitely going to propagate another one for myself. It is quite well drained and I do water when it droops in our hot summers. I thought smaller shrubs were supposed to be more vigorous over the long haul. I recently purchased an E. papyrifera,” Akebono” for my partial to full sun, southern facing garden. Some had stem damage but have since recovered robustly. This post is my fifth most viewed of all posts since I started my blog in November of 2010. Edgeworthia chrysantha die-back problems Does anyone else grow this plant and have problems with the older trunks suddenly dying off? This was a first for me, but I can tell from the stems the plants will recover (subject to further weather surprises). You are right that the beauty of this shrub without leaves is difficult to capture. Carolyn’s Shade Gardens is a local retail nursery in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, U.S., zone 6b/7a. This winter has not been bad, we’ve gone down to the teens (F) but it’s not unusual to have winters where some days hit the single digits. However, I think that I have comments from that area saying edgeworthias grow well. Julian, Julian, You will have to keep us posted on the progress of your plant. Curious to see if anyone has experience growing Edgeworthia in a container? Liz will have to supply the temperature details for NYC. I had a beautiful edgeworthia in my Atlanta garden, so when we moved to Knoxville, TN I couldn’t wait to plant one last March. This shrub suffers from rapid dieback of youngest branches if planted out in full sun here, the first heat wave will cause almost immediate dieback, even in a well irrigated garden setting with automatic irrigation. Hard to tell if flower buds still alive as their velvety texture is quite dry in general. Carolyn. Just this year did I find some "out in the wild" - in truth growing in a hinoki cypress plantation. I grow Magnolias and they do well if I give them a dose of fertilizer for acid loving plants in the spring. One third of the plant died back, and it did not flower at all that year. I never water any plants in my garden other than when they are first planted, and it is routinely in the 90s and drought conditions here in the summer.
