Medinilla apoensis Big Mama - Limited Numbers
Medinilla apoensis Big Mama is a beautiful tropical evergreen flowering plant. They produce beautiful and very showy pink flowers and berries that contrast beautifully with their lush green foliage. Their flowers can range from light to mid pink. They flower for many months, often 6 or more months for us in the nursery. They have the largest individual flowers of any Medinilla we have. And when pollinated are followed by hot pink berries which eventually turn bright purple many months later. They provide year round colour between the flowers and berries. And have beautiful large glossy green leathery leaves which add to their appeal. They are tropical plants. But do well at our nurseries in Kenthurst and Cranebrook through our cold winters as long as they are protected from frosts. They make fantastic pot specimens out on the patio, in the garden or in a hanging basket. And make wonderful indoor plants in bright airy rooms near a window.
We have beautiful specimens available in two sizes in 200mm and 300mm pots. The smaller of this size we post weekly state wide and interstate. The 300mm are pickup in the nursery only. Both sizes are currently producing flower buds.
