Plant Description

The Edgeworthia chrysantha "Red Dragon" is a rare, visually striking cultivar of the paperbush shrub, celebrated for its dramatic ruby-red flower buds that bloom into clusters of deep orange-red blossoms in late winter. These fragrant, tubular flowers emerge on bare, cinnamon-colored stems, creating a vivid contrast in the dormant landscape. Its broad, lance-shaped leaves emerge in spring, forming a lush, tropical-looking canopy, while the plant’s graceful, rounded habit adds architectural beauty year-round.
