Candy Pink is a medium shrub that is incredibly adaptable. Its large flower spikes are a lovely dark pink colour and are borne in flushes virtually all year round after a flush of new growth happens.
Candy Pink requires low maintenance and is suitable for coastal gardens. It is drought resistant. Likes a position of full sunlight to light shade.
6" pot size. | Peperomia polybotrya
Peperomia are slow growing tropical annuals and perennials that are easy to care for under average room or conservatory conditions.
Peperomia Polybotrya 'Raindrop' have a striking foliage with 'raindrop' shaped thick leaves. It really doesn't want direct sunlight and can indeed do well in that shady spot indoors. This plant will thrive in a nice warm living room. Similar to Pilea Peperomioides, which is also known as Chinese Money plant, let the soil dry out almost completely before watering again. | Gordonia axillaris
Now named Franklinia axillaris, Polyspora axillaris. The Fried egg plant is a great specimen for hedging, screening, feature trees and large pots.
