Enkianthus

A rare, native, deciduous daphne relative that develops a dense, rounded form with pale green, oval shaped leaves. In early spring the rubbery, highly flexible, greenish-brown stems carry small clusters of pale yellow flowers that offer peak display when the foliage is partially emerged. Plants are adaptable to high pH soils and show best growth in rich, partially shaded locations. An excellent plant for the woodland garden or naturalizing and certainly fun to show your plant geek friends. 5-8’ high and wide. Learn More

A vigorous selection with unique, creamy-yellow flowers in May and June. The small rounded leaves turn to shades of coral, orange and yellow in fall. Plants assume a more open and less rigid habit than typical seedling grown specimens. Learn More

Dwarf enkianthus is perhaps one of the most elusive of all garden shrubs. These fascinating little specimens display small, white, urn-shaped flowers and brilliant, scarlet-red fall color. The original plant was raised in Harold Epstein’s garden where it managed less than an inch of annual growth for many years. This remarkable, 3’ wide, 80+ year old specimen was recently sold at auction and now resides in a happy home in western Connecticut. Over the years we have acquired a few specimens for our display gardens. Our largest is now 15 years old and measures less than 14” in width and 8” in height. Thankfully we’ve been able to root a few cuttings and now have a very limited number of plants available for sale. Learn More
