Korean stewartia
Stewartia koreana ‘Milk and Honey’
Korean stewartia
Stewartias are prized garden plants across the world. White, camellia-like summer flowers. Exceptional fall color. Fascinating bark. A small tree for all seasons. Bark should be more subtle than ‘Ballet’ but fine nonetheless. Grown in full sun stewartias stay squat. In shade they stretch toward the light and can be limbed up to show off their bark. Prefers a moist, well-drained soil. Can be slow to establish. These are about two years old, so you may not see flowers for a few years.
