It is grown for its neat habit, good coverage of branches and long flowering time. It is also valued for its rough, grey trunk which tends to get lighter in colour with age. The Serissa flowers practically all year round, but particularly from spring to fall (autumn). A striking, variegated leaved miniature pink magnolia
tree! It prefers temperatures above 60 degrees (although a light freeze is okay) and does not like to dry out. Still, it is a great bonsai, miniature landscape tree, fairy garden tree or house plant. 2.5″ pot.
