The Chinese fringe tree (Chionanthus Virginicus) is an exceptional addition to any landscape, prized for its delicate beauty and resilience. It is also one of the planet's most showy and ornamental subshrubs. It's hardy in zones 3-9 and highly fragrant, making it a family favorite.
The Chinese Fringe Tree Is Highly Fragrant and Showy
In late spring, this tree bursts into a stunning display of fragrant, feathery white flowers that resemble delicate fringe, creating a breathtaking contrast against its dark green foliage. Beyond its ornamental appeal, the Chinese fringe tree is low-maintenance and adaptable, thriving in various soil types and withstanding urban pollution.
Its fragrant blooms attract beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity in the garden. Its leaves become rich yellow as the seasons change, providing a vibrant autumn color.
Chinese Fringe Trees are Very Rare and Highly Sought-after
With its modest size and elegant form, the Chinese fringe tree is perfect for small or large lawns because it does not grow huge and stays under 15 feet tall. It's a type of sub-shrub that homeowners want but seldom can locate. At Garden Plants Nursery, we have only 345 of these. It takes the seed two years and even longer to get this size. Buy your fringe tree while you can.
