Styrax ‘Evening Light’
Styrax japonicus
Dark-leafed trees are so dramatic in the garden, like deep shadows among all the green. And now a European breeder brings us the first-ever purple Styrax, with fragrant, white, bell-shaped flowers set against dusky leaves. Styrax japonicus ‘Evening Light’ grows just 6 feet high and is an easy, adaptable tree tolerating extreme temperatures. With a tight, upright habit, it makes a stunning garden specimen great for landscape plantings or hedging.
