One’d hardly expect big pink daisies from this woody, holly leaved Chilean rarity, but lo & behold – 2-3” across rosy pink & full on pretty! Zowie! Best suited to the rock garden, this plant needs full sun & prefers added drainage. It’s hitherto unknown to cultivation, though, so it may have a much broader tolerance of conditions than we’re aware of! Each leathery green leaf is tipped with a climbing tendril, so it could be trained up on a trellis or fence, or though the arms of an openly branched woody shrub. Most photos of it in the wild show it with a low spreading habit (best guess, 3-4’ wide & 1’ high.)
