White Flower Farm
Chionanthus virginicus
The Chionanthus virginicus, or native American Fringe Tree, is celebrated for its arresting vision of gossamer when it blooms in May and June. It produces dense clusters of sweetly fragrant white flowers, followed by glossy green leaves and small, bluish-black fruits on female plants. This small genus member thrives as an outstanding specimen plant or works well for naturalizing borders. It prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil, tolerating acid conditions readily. Plants establish well and bloom more generously when provided with warm summers, making it a highly rated choice for home landscapes.
