Calycanthus × raulstonii 'Hartlage Wine', or calycanthus 'Hartlage Wine', is a remarkable ornamental shrub, valued for its spectacular spring bloom of deep wine-red, large, silky flowers, delicately scented with fruity and spicy notes. The result of a modern horticultural cross, it combines generous flowering, an elegant habit, and luxuriant foliage. Its full, balanced bushy habit makes it an excellent choice for shrub beds, solitary plantings, or naturalist-inspired gardens. After flowering, its lustrous green foliage maintains a beautiful summer presence, then sometimes takes on subtle golden hues in autumn. Hardy, decorative, and undemanding, 'Hartlage Wine' brings refinement, fragrance, and structure to the garden over several seasons.
