Family Onagraceae
Originating from Chile

Translucent, angelic and impossibly graceful blooms make an unforgettable impression. Its pale pink sepals and delicate lilac petticoat petals have a diaphanous quality, with long protruding stamens. They hang in abundance from the branches from early summer until the frost. It may possess a small tree-like habit in sheltered positions with peeling, shiny tan-coloured bark. Perfect for hedging or as a specimen plant where its flowers can be enjoyed close up. Hardy and easy to grow in any soil in full sun or part shade.

Height and spread after 5 – 10 years 2.5m x 1.5m.
