Styrax japonicus 'Evening Light' was found as chance seedling by Henny Kolster in Boskoop, Netherlands. The dark purple elongated foliage emerges in the spring. The mahogany purple to black purple foliage provides excellent color in the landscape. Make sure to give ‘Evening Light’ plenty of sunlight to show off this dark purple color. Where ‘Evening Light’ really shows off is when the white to light white pink to white snow bell blossoms cover this tree in May and June. The contrast of these blooms against the dark foliage is spectacular. Not only will this put on a visual display, but the blooms are especially fragrant as well. ‘Evening Light’ forms a tight upright shape reaching 6-8 ft in height by 4-5 ft in width in 10 years.
