Those who have witnessed the beauty of a styrax in full bloom would agree that this genus deserves to be more widely planted, and that’s what we’re hoping Starway to Heaven® snowbell (Styrax japonicus) will do. Its fragrant, five-petalled flowers do indeed resemble a galaxy of stars when it blooms in spring – and then again, because it reblooms in fall. Each flower has a shimmering, almost metallic effect that sparkles in the landscape. Deep green foliage emerges red. Its narrow, space-saving habit makes it perfectly suited to beautifying even small landscapes.
