The shrub is deciduous which means that the leaves will drop as the day length shortens. The blossom comes out very early before the new leaves arrive. I suggest you put the shrub outside until the weather really gets cold - say mid 20's overnight when it will need protection. Indoors give it as much sun as possible and keep it cool. It is tough to say why the other plant leaves are going yellow without knowing the plant or where it is. Do you have a picture you can show me, so that I can help you? Amy

I gave it miracle grow indoor potting soil. The next two days I have notice the leaf have die downward? What is usually the case with that, is it not enough sun? or should I just leave it at my patio outside? I do live in NC right now is 80 in day time and 55 at night. If I leave the plant outside will it kill the tree because it is too cold? One more question, I planted some other plant and noticed the leaf are turning yellow why is that? Thank You Amy 919-771-7933 Hi Kate,

Mine are in a tree island area with seating nearby to enjoy them....hope you have as much luck!

There are some beautiful specimens at Swarthmore arboretum and they are in zone 7a. Hope that helps! Hi Kate- the edgeworthia is hardy to zone 7- all the way down to 0 degrees- you should be fine!

They are spendid shrubs. Thank you for that information – I will take a look at my local Pikes. They are spendid shrubs.

They have 2 sizes- around $40 and $60, I believe. It is reliably hardy here in Atlanta. Give it lots of room, and amend the soil well with organic materials. mine get a bit of midday sun. It was not very happy during the drought, so place it in a moist area if possible. Good luck! Katye- they have several edgeworthias at the Pike’s at Toco Hills.
