One of the few woody ornamentals that can bloom well in deciduous shade.
This species is the most ornamental of the bladde...Read Morernuts, because it's the most floriferous, and because the leaves emerge after the flowers. The flowers are sweetly fragrant. At the Arnold Arboretum in Boston Z6a, it blooms in early May, when it has a lot of competition for attention in the garden. Perhaps that is why this large shrub/small tree is so rarely offered or planted. The great plant explorer E. H. Wilson considered it among the best plants he brought into cultivation.
Children enjoy popping the curious bladderlike seed capsules that follow the flowers in summer.
The habit is upright and densely suckering, with many sparingly branched stems emerging tightly together.
Dirr says that this is hardy in Z5-6 in eastern N. America. It suffers in the heat of the eastern US south of Z6.
