A delightful deciduous shrub for milder areas. In late summer clusters of flowers form at the ends of the stems and become even more prominent after leaf fall. The flower clusters are covered with silky white hairs, and from a distance, the shrub appears to be in bloom all winter. In late winter, however, the flowers finally open, showing their true golden-yellow color and releasing a pleasant fragrance, which reminds us that Edgeworthia is a Daphne relative. The common name refers to its use in Japan for making a kind of fancy paper. Also known as E. papyrifera. Z. 7-9
