While large, voluminous flowers are impossible to miss and undoubtedly make a statement in home gardens, sometimes the daintiest blooms can be the most breathtaking. Case in point: Japanese snowbell. These delicate flowers, originating from their moniker, hang downwards demurely, making for the most serene of garden fixtures. Its petals, ranging in color from soft cream to light pink, contrast beautifully against its vibrant, green leaves.
Martha Stewart is counted among their fans, having recently shared a photo of her own pale pink snowbells to her Instagram page. 'These are the delicate blooms of a Japanese Snowbell, Styrax japonicus,' the pro gardener states in the caption. 'They hang from the branches in May and June giving off a mildly sweet fragrance.'
