false sinningia

Overview

False sinningia (Hemiboea subcapitata) is an evergreen perennial native to Central and South America. Its leaves are oval to heart-shaped with scalloped edges and grow in opposite pairs along the stem. The flowers are five-lobed, white or pinkish in color and bloom from late spring to summer. False sinningia prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, although it tolerates full sun. It is an easy-to-grow plant and can be propagated by division or cuttings. False sinningia adds an elegant touch to gardens, creating mounds of attractive foliage that change color as the season progresses. It is an excellent addition to rock gardens or containers and makes an excellent low-maintenance ground cover.
