Description / Styrax 'Fragrant Fountain'

Plant Patent #19,664

Simply one of the best shrubs you can grow in partial shade to full sun, this Japanese Snowbell is a richly fragrant, beautiful weeper with thousands of white blooms for months, followed by gold fall foliage. The multi-season appeal and quick growth of this compact tree make it so appealing for landscapes of all sizes!

The show begins in early spring, when literally thousands of wide open, pure white blooms open on chartreuse stems, dangling like parachutes among the fresh green leaves. The scent is sweetly intoxicating, and the display is breathtaking. 'Fragrant Fountain' is far more floriferous than earlier varieties, and you will appreciate its out-of-this-world show as spring turns to summer before the blooms pass!

The lush foliage on 'Fragrant Fountain' is dark green, remaining fresh and handsome all summer, then turning bright gold for several weeks before dropping in late fall. Spring-to-summer blooms, powerful fragrance, fall color, and elegant weeping habit -- is there anything this shrub doesn't have?!

Well, wasted space, for one thing. Perfect for today's smaller gardens, 'Fragrant Fountain' reaches only 6 feet high and 5 feet wide. It grows quickly and vigorously, but stays compact over its long lifetime. Perfect as a specimen in a small space, it's also a nice patio accent in a large container, and does well in the partly shaded border, threaded through fences, and draped over walls or terraces. Wherever you plant this darling tree, it will garner admiration and compliments! Highly recommended. Zones 5-8. Cannot ship to AZ, CA, OR, WA.

Customer Reviews

Rating
Good for small gardens
Review by Louise
Weeping habit and relatively small stature make this a good candidate for smaller gardens. However, the pendant flowers are partially hidden by the expanding foliage, and young trees need formative pruning to attain best form, which can be appreciated in winter. Styrax can be weedy; many seeds sprout which will require removal. Fragrance is light, so site this where you can pass close to it.
