Comments:
Small deciduous tree with spreading branches and an attractive form to 25 feet tall. Leaves are very large -- 18 inches long and 10 inches wide. Silvery white on underside. Flowers are very large, up to one foot wide -- and so fragrant they will perfume your whole yard. You will not have to wait long for these spectacular flowers. Very young plants only 2 -- 3 feet tall will produce flowers.

Full sun to part shade. Will become more densely foliaged in full sun. Prefers acidic soil and good drainage.
