DESMOS
CHINENSIS
Dwarf Ylang-Ylang
***This plant is out of stock. Please check back at a later time.
Not everyone can grow Cananga odorata,
Ylang-Ylang Tree. It is fast growing and can get pretty
big. You need to have room to grow it and grow it in the
ground in a tropical climate or have a greenhouse. The
Desmo chinensis is a small relative with the same intense
fragrance, but is a
plant that can be kept around 3 to 4 feet. It is a better
choice for those with limited space and for those in cold
areas that will need to protect tropical plants in the
winter and otherwise would have
a hard time growing the full size Ylang-Ylang.
