For low-maintenance garden beauty, flowering shrubs are an invaluable backbone. I so wish I'd planted more when I first arrived at Perch Hill. I have now put that right with kolkwitzia, long and prolific flowering and good for picking too. Unlike other shrubs, this does not form a dull blank without its flowers but looks good from early spring and is colourful in autumn.
Please note, this is being supplied as a 1.5 litre pots, and not a 2 litre pot as advertised in our spring catalogue. We apologise for this error.Genus | Kolkwitzia |

Kolkwitzia amabilis reviews
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Izzy Plant arrived in good condition and seems to be growing well so far. Have not seen any flowers yet, but probably ordered it too late. Hopefully it will flower next year when it is a little more established. |
Reviewed 17th September 2018 by Christine always excellent service and I have a garden full of their wonderful plants. |
