Ochna serrulata, ‘Mickey Mouse’ Plant
The ‘Mickey Mouse’ plant is a beautiful shrub native to South Africa that every gardener should know about. Once established it can grow to be 4-8 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. It features narrow glossy green leaves. When in bloom, the shrub puts on a display of showy yellow flowers which then give way to bright red sepals and mature black berries making it an amazing ornamental specimen. Fruit and sepals collectively resemble the black ears and red trousers of ‘Mickey Mouse’.
Ochna serrulata is cold-hardy but best grown in frost-free areas in full-sun to partial-shade and is not picky about soil type.
A great attractant for both birds and bees plus a beautiful, low maintenance ornamental specimen for any home or garden.
