CENTRADENIA, Cascade

Centradenia inaequilateralis

Masses of vivid mauve-rose blossoms provide a dramatic contrast to the trailing darker foliage. When Cascade starts blooming in the summer heat the leaves are dark olive green, but with the cooler temperature, they turn a deep bronze for spectacular fall colour. It has very good tolerance and does best in full sun. Its vigor and semi-trailing growth habit make it a beautiful accent plant in mixed combinations, hanging baskets, and window boxes.
