Orphium frutescens
“Sea Rose”

Unforgettable in flower, what you see here is South African “Sea Rose” just beginning to burst into bloom! Soon it will become almost totally covered with silky bright pink star-shaped blooms 1.5” across, emerging from an incredible mass of cute buds. You’ll want to jump for joy when it flowers mid-Summer to Fall! Even when not in bloom, the dense glossy rich green foliage is outstanding! To 2’ x 2’ with sturdy upright branching stems. Grow this rarity in a large container or up in front of a well-drained bed, the better to show it off. Cute back to 6” in the Winter. Compost once a year. Tolerates salt spray.
