The Hoheria ‘Glory of Almwich’, also known as ‘Lacebark’ is an elegant, fast-growing, semi-evergreen tree or large shrub that adds grace and structure to gardens. Renowned for its profuse and breathtaking display, it produces masses of large, pure white, star-shaped flowers during mid to late Summer. The flowers are lightly scented, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it both an ornamental and a wildlife-friendly choice.

Its slender, upright habit and dense canopy of glossy, dark green foliage make it a perfect choice for borders, screening, or as a focal point in any garden. The leaves often remain on the plant through mild winters, providing year-round interest.

Thriving in a sheltered, sunny, or partially shaded spot, it prefers fertile, well-draining soil. It can tolerate coastal conditions, making it a versatile choice for gardens across the UK. Relatively low-maintenance, it responds well to pruning after flowering to maintain its shape and size.

This Hoheria is ideal for creating a soft, romantic feel in the garden and is a favourite among gardeners for its reliability, elegance, and show-stopping floral display.

How to care for your Hoheria Glory of Almwich

  • Prefers a sheltered spot with full sun or partial shade.  Avoid planting in areas exposed to strong, drying winds, as these can damage its semi-evergreen foliage.
  • Water regularly during the first year to establish strong roots, especially in dry spells.  Once established, Hoheria is moderately drought-tolerant but will benefit from occasional watering during extended dry periods.  Avoid water logging to prevent root rot or fungal issues.
  • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in Spring to support healthy growth and flower production.
  • Mulch around the base with compost or bark chips to retain moisture and add nutrients.
  • Prune lightly after flowering (late Summer to early Autumn) to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth.  Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to promote airflow and prevent diseases.

With proper care, Hoheria ‘Glory of Almwich’ will reward you with its graceful foliage and dazzling display of white flowers, becoming a standout feature in your garden.
