Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A prized little gem for the windowsill where it can easily be maintained to fit into a small space. Often used in bonsai culture because it holds the foliage well, it can be cramped in the pot and takes pruning with ease. Small pink blossoms cover thin stems which are highlighted by white-etched foliage. This variegated form of Serrisa is known to be resilient for indoor culture where it is often trained into a standard form.
