Insights
Edgeworthia likes a sheltered position, ideally in a border or courtyard area, but not in a container. It will tolerate low temperatures and partial shade, since it is indigenous to the Himalayas and China. The colloquial name Paper Bush derives from the fact that fibre from the shrub was traditionally used to make paper.
