Asystasia Gangetica, Chinese Violet

Bring a touch of tropical charm to your garden with the Asystasia Gangetica. Its delicate, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of white, cream, or pale purple create a beautiful display against its lush green foliage. This plant is a natural ground cover, grown through a process that allows it to spread and fill in spaces effortlessly. Its presence improves the environment by providing a continuous source of nectar for pollinators, contributing to a healthy and thriving ecosystem.

Asystasia gangetica is an attractive, fast-growing, spreading, herbaceous groundcover that grows from 300 mm to 600 mm in height. The stems root easily at the nodes. Leaves are simple and dark green. It produces a cream-coloured flower with tessellated purple markings on the palate (lower petal of the corolla) in spring and summer. Flowers are produced over a long period and are followed by capsules with brown seeds. It is semi-hardy, and young plants require protection in areas of heavy frost. In tropical areas it can grow rampantly.
