Hypoestes phyllostachya 'Pink Splash' (Pink Polka Dot Plant) |
Native to South Africa, Madagascar, and South-East Asia, an evergreen miniature, compact, shrub growing to around 30 x 30 cm in size.
'Pink Splash' is a strikingly beautiful cultivar with oval green leaves which are heavily-spotted with pink and white spots, giving the impression of them having being spray-painted! Little, pink-purple, honeysuckle-like flowers are often borne on the plants.
It is generally grown as an ornamental houseplant in cooler climates, since it is only hardy to around 10°C. But it can be treated as an outdoor annual within cooler climates, or indeed as a perennial within tropical regions of the world.
Please note: full germination instructions are printed on each pack.
