‘D.D. Blanchard’ is a magnificent cultivar with unique large dark green leaves and rusty brown undersides. It has the ability to maintain a straight central trunk, which allows it to be grown full to the ground or be pruned into tree form with a visible trunk. Open branched pyramidal form makes an excellent shade tree with huge cup-shaped flowers in early summer. The fragrant blossoms can be 8″ in width. ‘D.D. Blanchard’ originated at Robbins Nursery in North Carolina. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
