Centradenia floribunda
“Spanish Shawl”

Centradenia floribunda “Trailing Princess Flower” Centradenia floribunda “Trailing Princess Flower”

A pleasure to grow! EASY, fast & beautiful, this rare Mexican relative
of the “Princess Flower Tree” creates the prettiest, positively densest
groundcover of rich reddish burgundy leaves 12-24” tall, depending on
what it can scramble up. Radiant, fuchsia, 2” blooms stand out
engagingly against the foliage Summer to Fall. Choice in rock gardens,
as a trailer, scrambler or spilling out of a handsome container, you can easily pinch back its soft stems to control its spread (to 4’ across). Red foliar color is strongest with some sun and well drained, compost rich soil will let you enjoy it at its best. Less water needed once established. Cut backto 5” in Winter for freshest appearance in Spring.
