Calycanthus x raulstonii 'Hartlage Wine'

Hartlage Wine Sweetshrub features showy burgundy star-shaped flowers with white tips along the branches in early summer. It has green deciduous foliage. The glossy pointy leaves turn an outstanding yellow in the fall.

Hartlage Wine Sweetshrub will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under average home landscape conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
