Crinodendron hookerianum 'Ada Hoffman'

(Chilean lantern tree) A lovely new cultivar of Lantern tree, this is a medium sized evergreen shrub once established, similar to the more familiar Crinodendron hookerianum, except that it has masses of delicate, pale pink (rather than red), lantern-like  flowers in early summer.

The leaves are dark green in colour and stay through the winter although some may fall in very cold winters and be replaced the following year.

A superb flowering shrub for a warm garden border in dappled shade. Can be grown well in a large container.
