Edgeworthia (Paperbush) are deciduous or evergreen shrubs boasting unique flowers held in golf-ball sized clusters that hang like little bouquets on the branches. Blooming in late winter to early spring, the blossoms exude a sweet fragrance similar to Daphne, and remain open over a long period, at least 4-6 weeks. Grown in Asia for their papery bark, Edgeworthia are wonderful plants to combine with shade-tolerant broadleaf evergreens and wildflowers.
