Description
This unusually gorgeous and rare small tree or large shrub is a great find for the collector to have in the landscape. Beautiful 3" flowers with purple stamens appear in late spring. Spectacular red and orange fall color. Stewartia is famous for its cream and brown flaking bark. Prefers rich, amended well drained acidic soils. Mature size is 10-15' High x 10-15' Wide.
Notes
This lovely plant is such a challenge for us to grow in pots and with the abundance of summer rain this year it made it even more of a challenge. This has set us back another year. We are compiling a wish list at this time and if you can email us with Stewartia in the subject line we will be more than happy to put you on our list.
