Japanese Snowbell
Purchased in November 2022. To date, it has formed a very pretty, elegant little tree. Delicate flowering. I transplanted it two years ago because the evening sun was damaging it. It is now in the shade and grows slowly but surely. It has found its place, and I keep an eye on it! It gives a lovely effect.

Description
Styrax japonicus 'June Snow' is a wonderful small tree with a narrow habit that is covered in beautiful pendulous and fragrant flowers in June. Very hardy, compact, and particularly floriferous, it is a beautiful novelty for ornamenting small spaces, or terraces if planted in a large container. To admire it at your leisure, give it a prime location in an ericaceous bed alongside rhododendrons and azaleas.
Originating from Japan, Korea, and China, Japanese Styrax is a deciduous shrub in the Styracaceae family, composed of trees and shrubs with aromatic resin. It is a large ornamental shrub that prefers cool, humus-rich, non-calcareous soil and sunny but not scorching exposures. In recent years cultivars with reduced growth have emerged, such as 'June Snow', obtained in the Netherlands in 1995.
The 'June Snow' Styrax is a shrub of modest size and relatively slow growth. At maturity, it will reach about 4 m in height and 1 m (3ft) in width, depending on the growing conditions. In a container it will remain more compact. Its habit is distinctly upright, supported by branches of brown colour. The foliage, deciduous in winter, glossy, is composed of ovate leaves, 2.5 to 8.5 cm (1 to 3in) long, with dentate edges, of a bright green colour. Before falling in autumn they take on various shades of yellow and orange. In June, and sometimes until August, the branches are adorned with numerous pure white buds resembling snowflakes, which open into small, fragrant flowers. They are bell-shaped, 1.5 cm (1in) in diameter, with 5 ovate lobes, adorned with a bouquet of golden stamens in the centre. They are pendulous, solitary or in clusters, beneath the branches. This long-lasting flowering, much visited by pollinating insects, gives way to ovoid, dry fruits of olive green colour. This Styrax has excellent hardiness, around -24°C (1°F).
Styrax June Snow thrives in humus-rich, acidic, cool, and light soils - conditions that also appeal to hydrangeas, with which it combines beautifully. Plant as a solitary specimen near a pathway, or close to the house to fully enjoy its beauty and fragrance. It also stands out on the terrace or balcony, placed in a carefully chosen large pot. It can be associated with low, bushy shrubs such as dwarf rhododendrons, Japanese azaleas (in partial shade), or heathers. Adorn its base with e.g. a small, variegated creeping euonymus (Emerald Gaiety), small periwinkles, and Naples or coum cyclamens.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
