Frequently asked questions
Galphimia Glauca
Can I keep it indoors?
Not long term. Indoor light is usually too low and flowering drops off; a sunny balcony or ledge suits it best.
Does it flower all year?
In the tropics it flowers almost all year; Hong Kong's cooler, shorter winter days may reduce flowering, so year-round bloom is not guaranteed.
Can it be grown as a low hedge?
Yes. NParks lists it for hedging; when lining up several pots, leave space for airflow and trimming.
Will it arrive in flower?
Flowering depends on the batch and season; the listing does not guarantee flowers on arrival.
