Description

Chinese Fringe Flower is the classic green-leaf species form, valued for its graceful, arching habit and delicate, white spring flowers. It forms a broad, fountain-like mound of bright green foliage. In early spring, it produces airy clusters of sweetly fragrant, white, fringe-like blooms that give the plant a soft, elegant appearance. This species is slightly more shade-tolerant than its red-leafed cousins and is perfect for creating a beautiful, informal screen or accent in woodland or shade gardens.

  • Graceful, Arching Form: Develops a lovely, wide-spreading, fountain-like shape with cascading branches.

  • Fragrant White Spring Blooms: Produces clusters of sweetly scented, spidery white flowers in early spring.

  • Bright Green Foliage: The species form has attractive, medium to bright green leaves that provide a fresh backdrop.

  • More Shade Tolerant: Tolerates more shade than the colorful cultivars, though it will flower best with some sun.

  • Excellent Informal Screen: Its size and habit make it ideal for softening fences or creating a loose, naturalistic privacy screen.
