Bog-standard garden centres won't have it but they really should have because it's such a joy. Take a look at: http://tinyurl.com/ysjch3 -- Unusual. I was about to say that it looked a bit like a Weigela until I realised that hakoneutsugi was the name of the plant and not the photographer (embarassed smiley). Weigela coraeensis is it's common name for those those that did not already know. I thought it was weigela versicolour? anyway Sacha is right always causes comment here when in flower. All I can tell you Charlie is that Ray has had it for many years and it was sold to him as W. coraeensis by that small nursery opposite (but not associated with) Stourhead. Looking at pics of W. versicolor on Google my impression is that C. coraeensis is more vari-coloured but from photos, it's hard to tell. Whichever it is, it's a stunner and while it needs space to do its best, I just don't know why it isn't more widely grown. It looks like the plant I've seen grown as W. coraeensis. (One of the local NT gardens has it.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
