Sphaeralcea ambigua ‘Childerley’

Sphaeralcea ambigua ‘Childerley’ is a delightful small shrub that charms with its almost continuous flowering from summer through autumn. Adorned with soft salmon-hued flowers, this evergreen beauty adds a touch of elegance to any garden setting. It thrives in containers placed in sheltered spots or as a corner accent in the garden. Given its relatively fast growth rate, regular pruning in spring ensures a neat and tidy appearance. This stunning shrub prefers a sunny, well-drained site with relatively poor soil conditions.

While it is generally hardy, it’s advisable to take a few cuttings before winter as a precaution, especially in regions with harsh winters. With a maximum height of 1m (3 feet), Sphaeralcea ambigua ‘Childerley’ offers versatility in garden design, whether as a standalone specimen or as part of a mixed border. Pairing well with other sun-loving perennials such as Achillea ‘Moonshine’ and Echinops ritro, it contributes to a vibrant and colourful garden display.
