}}Linnaea amabilis, also known under the synonym Kolkwitzia amabilis {{IPAc-en|k|ɒ|l|ˈ|k|w|ɪ|t|s|i|ə|_|ə|ˈ|m|æ|b|ᵻ|l|ɪ|s}}[1] and the English name beauty bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae. It is a deciduous shrub grown as an ornamental plant. In China, where it originated, the plant is called wei shi (蝟实).[2]

Description

The plant is an arching, spreading shrub, with light brown flaky bark and graceful arching branches, which can grow higher than eight feet tall. It is usually as wide as it is tall. The plant blooms in late spring. Its light pink flowers, dark pink in the bud, are about one-inch long and bell-shaped ("tubular campanulate"); they grow in pairs, as with all Caprifoliaceae, and form showy, numerous sprays along ripened wood. Its leaves are opposite, simple, and ovate, from .5 to 3 inches long, entire or with a few sparse shallow teeth. Its fruit is a hairy, ovoid capsule approximately .25 inches long.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}}

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Paul Graebner and placed in his new genus, Kolkwitzia, whose name honours Richard Kolkwitz, a professor of botany in Berlin.[3] The specific epithet amabilis means "lovely".[4] In 2013, it was suggested that Kolkwitzia, along with the genera Abelia, Diabelia, Dipelta and Vesalea, be merged into an expanded genus Linnaea.[5]

History

The beauty bush originates in Central China, where it has been discovered for science twice, once by the Jesuit missionary Giuseppe Giraldi in Shensi and then in western Hubei province, by E.H. 'Chinese' Wilson[6] who was collecting for Veitch Nurseries and who introduced it into horticulture.[7] Wilson sent plant material to his sponsors Veitch Nurseries in Exeter, in 1901, where the shrub flowered for the first time in 1910. The shrub became very popular in the eastern United States following World War I – almost a defining shrub in American gardens made between the World Wars. It is very rare and threatened in the wild.

Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use. The cultivar ‘Pink Cloud’ has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.[8]

Pruning

Opinions differ concerning how much pruning the shrub needs. The University of Missouri Horticulture Department suggests minimal intervention, so long as the plant has enough room to develop, up to a maximum height of 15 feet and a potential "spread" of eight feet.[9] Others suggest more active intervention to encourage development of new flowering branches and buds, with decisive pruning immediately after flowering.[10]
