About

This small to medium-sized tree is valued for its attractive cream to yellow flowers, which emerge in striking clusters. It's a key component of coastal forest ecosystems, often found in the understorey.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal for planting in partial shade, it thrives in well-drained coastal soils and is excellent for adding a touch of natural beauty to a mixed native garden or as an understorey specimen. Allow ample space for its natural, somewhat spreading form.

Growing notes

It exhibits a moderate growth rate and, once established, is remarkably resilient and tolerant of dry periods, requiring minimal supplemental watering. This hardy species benefits from protection during very strong coastal winds when young.
