Indoor Garden Radermachera China Doll – 85mm Shrubs

Radermachera China Doll – Big Babe 85mm – is a pretty, textured and compact tree with lush dark green fern-like fronds on graceful arching stems. As it matures in warmer climates white trumpet flowers add an extra dimension.

China Doll is the perfect feature plant in a pot where she’ll grow to two metres, or directly in the garden border where she’ll reach 6-8 metres high in the right spot.

You can also use her as a really unusual hedge or a screen around the patio or pool. The delicate fronds move in the breeze to create movement as well as vivid colour.

And just to complete her versatility, China Doll is a graceful house plant too if she has bright indirect light. Here’s our guide to caring for houseplants if the thought makes you dizzy.

This plant is an understated beauty and one of our favourites because great gardens have texture and movement as well as colour.

Everyone should have a China Doll, what’s not to love?   

Quick Facts

• What to use me for:  I’m a pretty indoor feature plant and a great addition to the garden. 

• I grow to:  In a pot, I’ll make two metres high, in the ground a whopping 6-8 metres – and I’ll do it quickly too.

• I am currently:  A big babe in an 85mm nursery pot

• Where to place me:  I like bright, indirect light inside and a sunny to a partly shady position outside. 

• How far to space me: I’m skinny and tall so 2m is all I need space wise.

• Soil Conditions: I like most soils that are moist but well-drained. Indoors I need a well-drained potting mix and a light hand with the watering can.

Beautifully grown and mature in size with developed roots and guaranteed sun hardened. These plants can be inserted straight into the ground and make an excellent garden plant.
