Anisodontea capensis (African mallow) 'Elegans Princess'
This versatile shrub offers a long season of interest with its profusion of hibiscus style pink flowers that bloom continuously from spring through autumn. The delicate, open faced blossoms contrast beautifully with the small, maple shaped leaves that form a dense, bushy habit. Well suited to sunny borders or container growing, it thrives in sheltered spots and brings a cottage garden charm to patios and courtyards. Drought tolerant once established, it attracts pollinators while requiring minimal care. Perfect for adding cheerful colour to Mediterranean style gardens or as an informal flowering hedge in mild climates.
