Stachyurus praecox
Early Stachyurus
In late winter and early spring, pendant racemes of small, cup-shaped flowers seem to drip from the bare, arching branches, creating a beautiful show. Hardy through most of the UK apart from inland valleys, at altitude and central/northerly locations. May suffer foliage damage and stem dieback in harsh winters in cold gardens. Plant can withstand temperatures down to -10°C

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Young plants should be planted in light, moist but well-drained, humus-rich, neutral to acidic soils. Suitable for shrub border or for a woodland garden but especially good against a wall. Protect from cold winds.
