Flowering Period

Crinodendron hookerianum Ashmount is a rare and highly sought-after cultivar of the Chilean Lantern Tree. Unlike the typical red flowers, Ashmount showcases delicate pink lanterns, which create a striking contrast against its dark green foliage. Unlike the less frequently flowering white variety, Ashmount produces an abundance of blooms comparable to the original red form. This unique shrub thrives in a sheltered spot with acid soil and makes an impressive feature even when not in bloom, with its leathery, narrow, rich green leaves forming a dense evergreen canopy. However, the true spectacle occurs in late spring, when it begins to produce its exquisite, lantern-shaped flowers, which dangle gracefully from long stems. The waxy, thick-petalled flowers continue to bloom well into summer. Ideal for plant enthusiasts, Crinodendron hookerianum Ashmount is sure to draw admiration from fellow gardeners. It reaches an ultimate height of 4-8 meters (13 to 26 feet) and spreads 2.5-4 meters (8 to 13 feet). As plant growth is seasonal, sizes may vary depending on the time of year, so we list by pot size rather than specific plant size.

Growing Information

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.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
