Description

Rare and much sought-after, Crinodendron 'Alf Robbins' is a unique selection which sports pure white flowers. It forms a large, evergreen shrub clothed in leathery, deep green, narrow leaves. Even when not in flower, it makes a handsome feature. The rich green foliage provides a dramatic backdrop to the white, lantern-shaped, pendulous flowers. Hanging down elegantly from long stalks, the thick-petalled, waxy flowers are produced in abundance over a long period from late spring until autumn. This choice shrub makes a unique feature for a sheltered spot in acid soil where it is bound to attract plenty of admirers! 

Ultimate height: 4–8 metres (13ft – 26ft). Ultimate spread: 2.5–4 metres (8ft to 13ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow

Plant in fertile, well-drained, humus rich, acid soil in partial shade. In late winter, feed with a fertilizer which is slow releasing, and mulch with ericaceous compost, leaf mould or pine needles. After flowering, light pruning may be carried out to remove any dead, damaged or wayward shoots.
