Dipelta floribunda
Dipelta is a deciduous shrub that has simple, opposite leaves and which bears solitary or clusters of fragrant, bell-shaped flowers in late Spring or Summer. Dipelta floribunda bears lance-shaped leaves and clusters of cream-white funnel-shaped with pink tints and an orange throat
Flowering
From Mid Spring TO Early Summer
Weigela-like flowers appear in mid Spring to early Summer
Planting
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Plant in a sunny, or partially sunny site, in free-draining soil that is fertile and is not acidic
Propagating
From Mid Spring TO Early Summer
Take softwood cuttings from new growth early in the day in Spring or early Summer. Cut, neatly, a 4" approx. piece of a non-flowering shoot, pinch out the tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
