Spur Flower

A shade-loving South African plant with white flowers, which makes an extremely effective show in a pot. The branches are tinged with purple and have soft hairs, while the aromatic, bright green leaves have large teeth. The flowers may have some purple markings, and are borne on one side of the stem from November to May. Make sure it avoids the worst of the winter weather, especially icy winds and sharp frosts. If necessary, prune for shape in early spring.
