DOMBEYA
X SEMINOLE
This
cross is one of the best Dombeyas around. Very easy to grow and bloom but
difficult to propagate placing this
shrub in the rare plants category. When mature this Dombeya forms a pretty
decent size shrub reaching to
about 8 feet in height and about the same in diameter. The dark pink flowers
appear in the fall and can go to early spring.
Unfortunately unlike other Dombeyas, the flowers are not fragrant. Domeya
x seminole can be kept smaller by trimming making
it suitable for container culture.
