Morning Dew™ Stachyurus

Stachyurus praecox 'MonSilrlef'

Sku #5574

An upright, deciduous shrub with beautiful green and cream variegated foliage that drops in fall, revealing dramatic mahogany-red stems. Unique pendulous blooms hang from the otherwise bare stems in winter, the showy racemes dripping with tiny, creamy yellow, bell-like flowers. A wonderful addition to shrub borders and woodland gardens.

Care

Care Information

Provide lightly acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Shelter from harsh afternoon sun. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, maintain evenly moist soil. Protect from drying winds in cold winter regions. Prune in spring to remove spent bloom stems.
