It is always a delight to see this unusual shrub or small tree in bloom. The tiny, white tubular flowers are assembled into inch-wide ball-shaped floral heads that look almost artificial. The flowers are fragrant which is the source of one of the common names - honey balls. The leaves are also attractive with their glossy surfaces and their red-veined undersides. Cephalanthus occidentalis is easy to grow, flourishing in the sun with weekly watering. Late summer and early autumn. 6 ft. x 8 ft. White flowers Sun Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 |
