Crinodendron hookerianum ‘Ashmount’ is a rare and sought-after variety of the ‘Chilean Lantern Tree’. Instead of the usual red flowers, ‘Ashmount’ bears its lovely lanterns in a delicate shade of pink, standing out beautifully against the dark foliage background. Unlike the equally rare white-flowered variety, which is a little more shy to flower, ‘Ashmount’ produces its blooms in equal abundance to the original red form.
Crinodendron is an unusual specimen shrub for a sheltered spot in acid soil. Even when not in flower, it makes a handsome feature, forming a large, evergreen shrub clothed in leathery, rich green, narrow leaves. But the real show starts in late spring when it produces extraordinary, lantern-shaped, pendulous flowers which hang elegantly from long stalks. The thick-petalled, waxy flowers are produced over many months, continuing until the end of summer.
A very special shrub for the plant enthusiast, Crinodendron hookerianum ‘Ashmount’ will be sure to provoke envious looks from admiring fellow gardeners! Ultimate height: 4–8 metres (13ft – 26ft). Ultimate spread: 2.5–4 metres (8ft to 13ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
