Thryallis


Another one of my Top 20 Shrub Choices for Florida is Thryallis or latin name Galphimia gracilis.  This is a great plant that blossoms all summer long in full sun to part shade.  This plant gets to be about 6 ft. tall and 4 ft wide. Please give it enough room so that it can grow that high.  I have found that this is a great background plant and the best way to maintain it is to let grow naturally.  Let it grow and bloom and cut it back in half at the end of the winter.  I have used this against fences- it makes a nice soft screen.

Looks great with Ruellia (Mexican Petunia) or Plumbago- blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations.
