xSinocalycalycanthus raulstonii 'Hartlage Wine'

Post by Robyn »

I got this shrub in the fall of 2008 and so far am really impressed. The blossoms are beautiful and the deer haven't been a problem.

'Venus' is also a Sinocalycanthus hybrid.

Viktoria,

I got them both at the same time from Camellia Forest. This year is the first time Venus will bloom but they are not open yet. Your pictures are great. Hope mine are just as nice. Would definitely recommend both shrubs for part shade.

Viktoria,

Can you give me more information about how long you have had them and how they have done growth wise. I thought I would see more new stems coming from the base like my old sweet shrub but I haven't had these very long, less than 2 years.

They look like magnolias. Are they related? Or are they species magnolias and I am in need of a plant latin names guide?

So not a cousin. And if it is, no one is admitting it! :lol: :lol:
