Known as the ‘Chilean Lantern Tree’, Crinodendron is an unusual and rare 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. As well as the better-known, red-flowered species, this trio includes two rare and much sought-after varieties.
Ultimate height: 4–8 metres (13ft – 26ft). Ultimate spread: 2.5–4 metres (8ft to 13ft).
Crinodendron Trio comprises the following varieties:
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.
