Description
Kolkwitzia amabilis
We can see why this deciduous shrub is also known as the ‘Beauty Bush,’ because the arching stems of Kolkwitzia are smothered with masses of intricately detailed trumpet flowers during May and June! Kolkwitzia amabilis, which is not commonly seen in the UK, is a fast-growing, hardy shrub that will be one of the first to flower in the summer. Plants are adaptable and will grow in a variety of soil conditions. For a real treat, plant it at the back of a mixed herbaceous border! Height: 3m (10′). Spread: 4m (12′).
