Styrax japonica 'Evening Light®'

Styrax japonica 'Evening Light®' captivates with dramatic, richly toned foliage contrasted by cascades of starry white flowers, creating an exciting interplay of light and dark. From striking deep purple foliage that can develop olive green tones in shade, graceful clusters of fragrant, nodding white, bell-shaped flowers appear along the branches in early summer and may reflower later in the season, creating a long period of interest. The contrast between dark foliage and bright blooms ensures this Japanese snowbell stands out, with the dark stalks and calyces of the flowers accentuating the effect. This slow growing, bushy selection is perfect for smaller gardens, mixed borders and courtyards – plant in full sun for the best purple foliage colour.Ultimate height and spread: 2.5m to 4m (8.2 - 13ft).
