Note:

Price and Plant sizes can only be shown once you made a selection using the drop down boxes

Photos of plants are a representation of the plant (sometimes at full size) and not of the actual plant on offer.

We show you an image,so you can see what the variant of plant looks like.

It is fairly obvious that if we show you a picture of a large plant, but you select a small one, they will not be the same size.

Your selection of size will determine what size plant you receive based on the pot or planter size you selected. After making your selection using the drop down boxes, please visit the Additional Information Tab to see an estimate plant size based on the packaging dimensions.

Using planter size as size selector is standard practice in the Nursery Industry, as a retail-ready plant is a plant grown to size in the container it populates.

Our plants are always sourced from professional and reputable growers and our plants are of the best quality possible

Description

🌿 Serissa foetida ‘Variegata’, also known as Tree of a Thousand Stars, is a compact, ornamental shrub admired for its tiny, star-shaped flowers and eye-catching variegated foliage. It’s a favorite among bonsai enthusiasts and patio designers thanks to its refined structure and striking leaf contrast.

✨ Key Features

Foliage: Small, oval leaves with creamy white edges; the variegation adds brightness to shaded spots.
Flowers: Profuse small white blooms, mostly during warmer months—hence the poetic nickname.
Fragrance: Despite “foetida” in the name, the scent isn’t offensive; it’s mostly noticeable when leaves are bruised.
Size: Typically kept compact at 30–60 cm, making it ideal for patio pots or low hedging.

🌱 Care Tips

Sunlight: Bright, indirect light or light shade—protect from harsh midday sun.
Watering: Keep evenly moist but well-drained; sensitive to drought and root rot.
Pruning: Regular trimming promotes branching and shape control.
Temperature: Frost-tender—best overwintered indoors or protected during cold snaps.
