Description

'Woodlander's Blue' Zenobia, also known as Honeycup or Dusty Zenobia, is an easy-to-grow rare but treasured North American native flowering shrub that shines in the landscape with its light, dusty blue-grey foliage. In late spring to early summer clusters of fragrant, bell-shaped, citrus-scented white flowers similar to those of Pieris dangle from the ends of arching stems on low shrubs 3 to 4 feet tall and maybe a little wider. The color show continues in fall when the foliage turns bright yellow and reddish-purple. A outstanding native that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow!


Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in an arching mound that reaches 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, the Woodlanders Blue Zenobia is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or in mass plantings in sunny to partly shady areas of the landscape. It's arching dusty grey-blue foliage provides wonderful contrast of color when combined with plants that have dark color.  
 
Suggested Spacing:  3 feet apart for solid hedges; 7 feet or more apart for space between plants

Cultural Preferences

Though Zenobia is native to bogs and wet areas in the Coastal Plains of the Southeast it also performs very well in normal inland garden conditions in USDA Zones 6a to 9b. Woodlanders Blue Zenobia grows in most any moist to moderately drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Full sun provides the brightest foliage color and density. Zenobia tolerates more moisture than many other shrubs but is also tolerant of dry soil conditions when established. Maintenance is minimal unless you prefer a more formal shape, which requires an annual pruning or two for shaping purposes.
