A twining climber with silver spashed leaves that I bought at the Tregrehan plant sale. As a young plant it has produced a few small white flowers.
Currently in a pot in the Hedychium house, it will be tried outside once I have rooted some cuttings. It may be Schisandra propinqua var. sinensis, of which Crug Farm Plants say (under collection no. BWJ.8148): "My own collection of this slender twining or procumbent evergreen woody spindly much branching climber to 6m tall. Which bears distinctly ornamental narrow-lanceolate long tipped distantly serrate dark green leaves, attractively mottled light silver. With yellow flowers in pendant clusters from the leaf axils, followed by if pollinated, short drupes of red fruit. For humus-enriched soil, part shade-full sun and sheltered from cold winds. Seed collected from just south of Baoxing Sichuan China." |
