Disporum longistylum ‘Green Giant’

This stunning woodlander was found and named by noted plant explorer, Dan Hinkley in Sichuan Province, China. It’s Robust, 8’-10’ bamboo-like shoots emerge in shades of pink, white and green, maturing to deep green. Fragrant branched sprays of creamy-white flowers unfurl like nodding bells with the new growth each spring; flowers are followed by glistening black fruit in fall. It was originally a D. cantoniense cultivar along with Disporum ‘Night Heron’ however BLEDDYN Wynn-Jones has identified both of them as D. longistylum. This came to us from Dan when Heronswood was still a cutting edge nursery and we liked our stock plant so much we couldn’t bring ourselves to cut it up. Dawn took a machete to it last spring and now we have a few to offer, this thing is not a fast multiplier.____ZONE 7 maybe 6 with protection
