Dhobi Tree Mussaenda frondosa

A delightful colour variegation for the garden. Subtle and elegant, this tropical, evergreen, perennial shrub may also be grown as a houseplant & has clusters of small orange-yellow tubular flowers in summer.

Dramatic, white leaf sepals and bright green foliage create an ornamental display.

Plant in fertile, well drained soil in a sunny, warm position, water regularly and prune after flowering in Autumn.
