Product description
Anisodontea capensis Elegans Princess is a colourful, hardy garden perennial that brings glossy, dark green foliage that has beautiful pink flowers covering it throughout the summer months. On top of the pink flowers, a green, star-shaped design forms from the centre of the plant, adding a visually pleasing, vibrant element to the plant. Planting Anisodonteas in moist, well-drained soil and positioning it in full sunlight is recommended. Once-a-week watering will suffice due to its low maintenanace care levels but, what you must watch out for, is the soil being dry to touch - this should see you carry out the watering process.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Provide winter protection or move pot-grown anisodonteas indoors during the colder months of the year.
How to Water
Water regularly until established. After this, anisodontes only need to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Grow anisodontea in a sheltered spot in full sun in well-drained soil. Dig a generous hole and mix in some well-rotted organic matter before positioning the plant inside and backfilling with soil. Firm down gently using your foot and water the soil thoroughly.
