Description:
Part of the 'Bush Gems Mini' Range. Compact, prolific flowering and easy to frieght make these a popular choice for export. Not as long lived as the Bush Gem range and best enjoyed in patio pots (up to 25cm), however they will flower in pots as small as 10cm. Bush Fantasy is a compact beauty featuring orange-tipped, yellow flowers for most of the year. This is called Fantasy because a branched, yellow-flowered paw with such compact dimensions was indeed a breeder's fantasy, and now a reality! Grows to approx 40cm.
