Tilia platyphyllos 'Rubra' Hedge and its attractive autumn tintsAn attractive cultivar of the large leaved lime, offering the same stately broadly oval habit, large heart shaped leaves as the species but with added interest of colourful orange red winter twigs. Leaves also emerge red tinted before turning dark green. Fragrant flowers in June followed by winged fruits. Great nectar source for wildlife. Not for paved sites. H6
