Melicytus obovatus Seeds

Melicytus obovatus

This is also known as a New Zealand shrubby violet. This slow growing treasure is a dwarf evergreen shrub, with small oval leaves, resembling a box bush. Tiny clusters of perfumed yellow-green flowers slowly turn to white and purple berries.

Cover with compost or grit 5mm deep in a cool bright position outside. Seeds can be slow to germinate, so please be patient. Grow on individual seedlings in 3 inch pots, and then plant out in a well-drained open position.
