Crinodendron hookerianum Ada Hoffmann is a lovely new addition to the family. This rare and unusual medium sized, evergreen shrub will stop you (and your neighbours) in your tracks.Crinodendron hookerianum Ada Hoffman is decorated from late spring to late summer with masses of delicate, almost waxy looking pale pink, lantern-like flowers, hence the common name, Chilean Lantern Tree. Covering the shiny, dark green, evergreen foliage, sometimes until autumn the branches seem to be dripping with blooms. Named from the ancient Greek words for Lily and Tree, Crinodendron is a native from Chile, where it grows near shady streams. Crinodendron Ada Hoffmann will flourish in either borders or containers, preferring to be grown in moist, well-drained and acidic soil in part shade. Growing to a height and spread of approximately 3m she can be pruned to the required size and only needs winter protection against the very coldest weather in exposed places.
