CANTUA BUXIFOLIA 'DANCING OAKS'

Cantua buxifolia 'Dancing Oaks', also known as the Flower of the Incas, is a breathtaking, long-flowering shrub with scandent, arching stems that carry large clusters of vivid red trumpet flowers. Blooming from March to June, this 3m tall variety is prized for its exceptionally rich colouring and elegant, cascading habit.

A stunning choice for mild gardens, conservatories, or as a container specimen, Cantua 'Dancing Oaks' thrives in well-drained soil and a sheltered, sunny position. A fantastic gift plant, it brings a touch of exotic beauty to any collection.

With its showy, nectar-rich blooms, this variety also attracts pollinators like hummingbirds (in warmer climates) and beneficial insects, making it a valuable plant for wildlife-friendly gardens.
