Jeffersonia dubia is a real beauty! How long does it stay in flower? I have Jeffersonia diphylla and this year the flowers lasted 4 days .... there are much better plants for the shade garden.

The flowers of Jeffersonia diphylla don't last long, true, but the foliage is wonderful.  A hard rain can make the flowers of Jeffersonia dubia rather ephemeral also.
