ANISODONTEA ‘EL ROYO’

Anisodontea ‘El Royo’ (incorrectly named ‘El Rayo’ by RHS and others) is a semi-evergreen shrub that was introduced by Bob Brown (Cotswold Garden Flowers) in February 2009. Most people don’t know how to spell it correctly and what it means… Nevertheless, ‘El Royo’ produces broad, saucer-shaped pink flowers that deepen to salmon-pink in cooler weather – every day of the year!

It blooms prolifically from July to November, with the most abundant flowering occurring in cooler seasons. Reaching a height of 1-2 meters, it adds airy texture and long-lasting colour to mixed borders or container plantings.
