Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

Spring Purple Corylopsis. Like other Corylopsis species, this one makes a large open shrub with 2-3" hanging racemes of yellow fragrant flowers in the spring before the foliage. Here in zone 8 ours will start flowering in late February and continue through March. But this cultivar has an added bonus of matt purple new growth. Not only with the early spring flush, but each succeeding flush of growth has the purple tips, which is a magnificent added bonus for this genus. Fall colors may be purple to yellows. Corylopsis make incredible woodland plants where they thrive under the filtered shade of deciduous trees, but they will also grow with morning sun and afternoon shade. They are long lived plants and each year become more and more impressive.
