Isoplexis caneriensis

These are small, yet spectacular flowering shrub, Isoplexis have flowers rise well above the foliage in spring to summer adding a little height to the garden border.

With a long flowering period late spring through summer Isoplexis caneriensis really add a great splash of colour to the border. Upright apricot flower spikes that look like a foxglove. I. canariensis is a bushy evergreen shrub to 1m. 

Not widely grown yet well suited to our gardens, Isoplexis are from the Canary Islands and the four species all have brilliant flowers.

Isoplexis Varieties

  • I. caneriensis (pictured right) is readily available and the most widely grown species.
