Dipelta yunnanensis

Yunnan Honeysuckle

A choice, quite rare plant from the honeysuckle family, Dipelta yunnanensis is a large, deciduous shrub with arching branches and attractive pale brown, peeling bark, looking rather like a weigela. Elliptical, glossy, mid-green leaves are 5” (12cm) long. Small clusters of scented, white, funnel-shaped flowers, 1” (2.5cm) long, with a pink flush and orange markings in the throat, appear in April and May. Conspicuous pinkish-green bracts surround the little fruits. Yunnan honeysuckle comes from Western China.
