Luculia grandifolia

Luculia grandifolia Details

Luculia grandifolia is deciduous shrub grown for its clusters of fragrant white flowers. It produces masses of the beautiful, tubular blooms through summer. The foliage is light green with red veins, and develops gold and purple tones in autumn before falling. It typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide and can be trimmed as necessary. This variety performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site that does not dry out. It will tolerate frosts and cool climates. Luculia grandifolia is commonly included in a mixed planting, grown for its autumn colours, or planted so the fragrance this plant affords can be appreciated.
