Jim; Good catch. Yes, L. shaanxiensis is originally described as a species that produces foliage in late winter/early spring. All of the material in the US, supplied by Chen Yi of China is the fall-foliaged hybrid L. x houdyshelii Tony Avent Proprietor tony@plantdelights.com Juniper Level Botanic Garden<http://www.juniperlevelbotanicgarden.org/> and Plant Delights Nursery<http://www.plantdelights.com/> Ph 919.772.4794/fx 919.772.4752 9241 Sauls Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27603 USA USDA Zone 7b/Winter 0-5 F/Summer 95-105F "Preserving, Studying, Propagating, and Sharing the World's Flora" Since 1988, Plant Delights Nursery is THE Source for unique, rare and native perennial plants.

In other words, is the true l. shaanxiensis a species which produces its foliage in late winter rather than in the fall? Or, were you making a distinction between late-summer flowering species (longituba and chinensis for instance) and fall-flowering species (e.g. radiata) ?
