Description How to Grow Delivery

This trailing subshrub from Brazil has earned some delightful nicknames such as Clog Plant and Goldfish Plant due to the unusual shape of its waxy flowers. Nematanthus gregarius bears long, trailing stems clothed in small, fleshy, dark green, glossy leaves. Throughout summer, clusters of tubular orange flowers are produced which resemble pouting goldfish darting amongst a backdrop of deep green foliage! Grow it as a hanging plant to highlight its cascading foliage studded with vivid flowers. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 20cm (8in). Width: 50cm (20in).
