Schizocentron elegans

Spanish Shawl

Schizocentron elegans, commonly known as Spanish Shawl, is a low growing, herbaceous perennial often used as a groundcover. It forms a mat of green leaves as it grows to 10 cm tall and 70 cm wide. It produces striking, magenta-coloured flowers through spring and summer. Best performance with this plant is achieved when it is planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade, protected from frost. Schizocentron elegans is commonly used as a groundcover, included in tropical or cottage gardens, planted to either trail over the edge of a container or spill across onto a path.
