Stephanandra incised 'Crispa'

FamilyRosaceae

Stephanandra incisa ‘Crispa’ is a deciduous shrub with a low, spreading habit, particularly valued as an ornamental groundcover. This dwarf selection develops a silhouette that is much wider than it is tall, forming a dense, supple mat ideal for slopes, rock gardens, and woodland plantings. Its finely cut, light green foliage brings a light texture to the garden and turns beautiful orange-yellow to coppery-red hues in autumn. In early summer, small creamy-white flowers discreetly appear along the arching branches, adding subtle seasonal interest. Tolerant of various well-drained soil types and performing well in sun as well as partial shade, Stephanandra incisa ‘Crispa’ is an excellent choice for stabilizing slopes and creating elegant plant masses in northern climates.
