Daphniphyllum macropodum var. humile x macropodum

Raised from seed from a female D. humile pollinated by a male D. macropodum, these should make a medium sized, rather than large, evergreen shrub with fairly sizable Rhododendron-like foliage, pale beneath and with red petioles. Easy and hardy in any good soil, acid or alkaline, in sun or shade. Male flowers, when in bud, look a bit like Mulberries and females in fruit are rather attractive. An aristocratic foliage plant of fine form, with leaves emerging in spring a rather gorgeous subtly bronzed golden-green. Can be nipped by late spring frost, but always reshoots.
