Lysichiton camtschatcensis
|
| We added the Lysichiton
camtschatcensis to our existing native yellow ones, in hopes of getting
a hybrid. There are now seedlings, though we will have to wait another two
to three years before they flower. The hybrid has a larger flower of soft
creamy yellow. L. camtschatcensis is native to northern Japan into
Russia, growing in wet areas. The flowers are supposed to be sweetly scented,
but we have been too busy to kneel down and see if that is true. The site
for our plants is damp, but not ideal, so they will not get as large as
they could in other gardens.
