Crinodendron Hookerianum is an exotic-looking, ornamental, evergreen shrub or small tree with elegant, narrow, leathery, dark green leaves. Very attractive, lantern-shaped, crimson to carmine-pink flowers on long stalks hang loosely from branches in late spring to late summer. Flower buds form in autumn, go through winter, and bloom in spring. The fruit is green to tan capsule. Crinodendron Hookerianum thrives in fertile, humus-rich, acid soil, moist but well-drained, in full sun or partial shade. It needs protection from cold winds. Roots must be kept cool and shaded. Frost may damage young flower buds. Pest-free and disease-free. Crinodendron Hookerianum is a stunning plant that can bring an exotic feel to any garden. Great as a specimen plant, for beds and borders or wall-side borders. Ideal for woodland gardens, but also city and courtyard gardens. In colder areas, best to grow in a cool greenhouse or conservatory.
