Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Red Dragon' 35L

Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Red Dragon'

Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Red Dragon' is a striking deciduous shrub prized for its sweetly fragrant, coral-red flower clusters that appear on bare stems from January to March. The rounded heads of tubular blooms provide a vivid splash of colour through late winter and early spring, creating a focal point when little else is flowering. As the seasons progress, the plant develops lush, deep green foliage with a subtle silver sheen, adding texture and contrast into autumn.

Perfect for pots, containers, or sheltered borders, ‘Red Dragon’ thrives in full sun or partial shade and benefits from protection against hard frosts to preserve its delicate flowers. The scent is strong and sweet, making it a superb choice near paths or entrances where the fragrance can be enjoyed up close. Its compact, rounded form and reliable winter display make it a superb addition to any garden seeking early-season colour and perfume.
