A low spreading, evergreen with dark green leaves, this plant can be grown as a standalone shrub or alternatively trained as a climbing wall plant. Can also be grown outside in a large container if moved into a greenhouse or similar in the winter (unless in very mild parts of the UK)

  • Flowering Period: May - July.

  • Rate of Growth: Moderate.
  • Habit: In most parts of the UK Mitraria coccinea will grow to be a small or medium sized, loosely branching climber/shrub.
