Halesia carolina Jersey Belle

Common Name: Jersey Belle Silverbell

Halesia carolina ‘Jersey Belle’ is an improved selection of Carolina Silverbell valued for its heavy flowering and attractive, refined form. Oval green leaves emerge in spring, followed by abundant, bell-shaped white flowers that hang beneath the branches in mid-spring, creating a striking display, and foliage turns soft yellow in fall.
