Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Red Dragon'
Edgeworthia - Paper Bush - is a rounded shrub with lance-shaped leaves and globes of small fragrant tubular yellow flowers, each with 4 lobes, that appear before the foliage in early Spring. Will require frost protection. 'Red Dragon' bears green, woolly flower buds that open to fragrant orangey-red flowers.
Flowering
From Late Winter TO Early Spring
The tubular yellow flowers, each with 4 spreading lobes, form globe-shaped heads that a[[ear in Spring before the leaves appear.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
This plant can be grown outdoors in mild Winter areas. It would need protection from frost, as it is not frost hardy. The shrub should be planted in a sunny, or partially sunny site in fertile, humus-rich soil that is moist but free-draining.
Propagating by division
From Late Winter TO Early Spring
Divide a mature paper bush in mid to late Winter. Dig up the root ball and divide it at the roots into several plants, and re-plant the divisions immediately in the desired positions.
