Plant Description

Ochna serrulata is a shrub with glossy, mirror-like leaves that flush red in spring. This plant deserves place of pride in any garden with its profuse, scented, yellow flowers and black fruit on an enlarged red calyx. The seeds attract birds to the garden.

Ochna serrulata grows very well in containers in sun or semi- shade areas. The small size also makes it ideal for the smaller garden.

You may find stock of this plant at Random Harvest.
