Characteristics:
Obtained by Keith KIRSTEN - European P.B.R.
Native
to South Africa, this new selection of Anisodontea displays flowers continuing
from April to October and also into late Autumn in milder climates. The flowers,
similar to those of Malvaceae, are bi-coloured: pale pink with dark pink veins
in centre, larger than type (up to 2-3 cm in diameter), and very attractive to
butterflies.
'Miss Pinky'
has been selected for its upright and bushy habit, more compact than type.
Height:
1.00 - 1.50 m. Spread: 1.00 - 1.50 m.
Its finely dissected aromatic foliage
is evergreen to semi-evergreen.
Uses:
'Miss
Pinky' blooms in abundance from Spring to Autumn
and is perfect for flower beds, pots on balconies and patios.
Prefers a sunny
position with a drained to well-drained soil especially during Winter.
Semi-woody,
hardy to - 8°C, will benefit from protection. Ideal plant for pots in colder
areas.
May be pruned to retain shape as required.
