Rauwenhoffia (Rauwenhoffia siamensis)

Closely related to Ylang-Ylang, Rauwenhoffia has intensely fragrant small golden blooms that appear from spring through fall along the spreading branches. The small golden flowers are tucked in amongst the foliage often invisible to the eye yet powerfully present to the sense of smell. It is a slow grower that tolerates dry conditions and moderate light. As the plant matures, it has a spreading growth habit. We ship two-year old seedlings that are 3-5 years from flowering. From Southeast Asia, this shrub has a slow growth habit making it perfect for windowsill culture. Plus, its ability to grow in partial shade and tolerate dryness is another advantage for the home gardener. Give bright light for reliable blooming.
