Butterkin®, Sida Fallax
Description
Butterkin® is a low spreading shrub (1m x 1m). It resembles a miniature hibiscus flower with striking five petalled, buttery/orange flowers that occur in prolific terminal clusters for most of the year, particularly in warmer subtropical climates.
Plant Useage
Butterkin® is very versatile as a low hedge, a tidy edging plant or a colourful filler. Butterkin® would make an ideal ground cover for that dull spot in the garden.
Growing Conditions
Butterkin® grows best in full sun but can also perform in lightly shaded areas.
Plant Care
Butterkin® responds well to regular light pruning to maintain its fresh appearance and continual prolific flowering. It does not have any special soil/ nutritional requirements other than regular standard garden maintenance. .
