Hi Susan,

I was trying and trying to remember .....

Leucosceptrum japonicum 'Gold Angel' | Avant Gardens

I am sure there was a variegated one I bought and killed.

That is a beautiful plant. I'm going to dig around google some

more. Even if it's not your mom's plant it was pretty.

Leucosceptrum japonicum 'Mountain Madness'

no match for yours. But it sure is familiar. I know I've seen it before

to move along to shrubs, then, is that a woody stem? If so we're going in a helpful direction.

I had a variegated hydrangea once,"light o day" DUD for my climate.

Nope, not LOD. Sorry.

Thank you so much, Jay! My mom and i had both considered that she possibly got it when we were at Plant Delights years ago, but my sister said she couldn’t find anything in their current catalog that matched. It is an gorgeous plant plant. So glad to know what it is.

marie, i wish we could grow it up here!!

Marie, I Just looked it up and it says zone 5a.

I find that very interesting because I dont see it on my plant list from my visit to Plant Delights. Not sure how I would have left without this plant??

Maybe there was only one left and mom and I played rock, paper, scissors for it! 😂

T2D, I have had Leucoseptrum Gold Angel here in cenyral NH for a number of years, so it should be fine for you.

Plant Delights leaves the pages of plants no longer in production. I like that, because it's informative. There's a few I wish they still offered. They might have this Leucoseptrum growing in their Juniper Level Garden.

The garden is spectacular to say the least. I was there years ago and the plant material was so interesting and the garden layout was really great. Tony Avent is super friendly and spent a lot of time with us talking about all things garden. It was a great experience.

so I did get it partly right. I couldn't find a source that listed all the cultivars.

I'm sure I owned it and the mother plant and offspring died after I divided itl

I found it hard to place in the garden but didn't have the chance to try other spots

before I killed it. I got it at a nursery that specialized in roses in "southern MA"

No recollection at all of the name.

Marie

It looks like all the nurseries that carry it are sold out, except for one nursery in Europe.
