| Dombeya wallichii |
One of my favorite plants!
The huge leaves are soft and fuzzy and the pink flowers smell deliciously like sugar cookies :)
This plant is a fast growing shrub and starts to flower in mid December here in Central Florida. The huge pink flower balls are pendulous (like holiday ornaments) and do look a lot like mophead hydrangea flowers.

| Also known as 'Pink Ball' |
Bees love the blooms.
Dombeya flowers December through January, is a low maintenance plant, requires no special soil but wants at least 6 hours of sun. This plant is not frost tolerant, but will grow back fast after a freeze!
