DESFONTAINIA SPINOSA Loganiaceae HSh 4-5ft (5 Seeds)

The leaves look and feel just like holly but this rare plant from cold Southern Chile is no relation. Long buds burst out into a display of flamboyant, tubular red and orange waxy flowers, which continue until late autumn. Deservedly one of the top ten shrubs in our garden.
