A FRIEND GAVE ME THIS
PLANT, AND I LOVE IT, BUT
NO IDEA WHAT IT IS....
Hypoestes aristata, or ribbon bush - a
shrub that grows up to 1.5m high, lovely
white, pink-mauve flowers, indigenous to
southern and tropical africa. It flowers
prolifically in winter from May onwards.
Prune back after flowering, as it can get
scruffy. S.C
