Family Styracaceae
Originating from Japan

A large shrub or small tree, that is rarely offered and deserves to be seen more in gardens. Bright green leaves that turn a rich gold in autumn, and large, profuse hanging racemes of fragrant white flowers in June and July give a long season of interest.
Grow in fertile, well-drained acid or neutral soil in full sun or part shade. Performs best when sheltered from strong winds.

Height and spread after 3 – 4 years 2m x 1.5m
Mature height and spread after 10 years if not pruned 4m x 4m
