Description
Native to southern Africa,
this adaptable evergreen shrub with deep green, oval, toothed,
leathery leaves grows to 3 m (10 ft) high and even greater spread.
It has star-shaped, mauve-pink flowers about 3-4 cm across during
spring and summer. The flowers have pink sepals the same size
and color as the petals, making them appear double-flowered and
are followed by purple-red, 4-lobed berries. |
Growing
Grewia are mostly frost tender to marginally frost hardy and
prefer a sheltered, sunny position with well-drained and rich
soil.
Prune frequently to maintain a compact habit.
Propagate from cuttings or seed.
