The Story
Butterkin is a compact form of Sida Fallax - a tropical shrub grown in Hawaiian gardens for generations for its long display of vivid orange-yellow flowers that appear almost continuously through the warmer months. The flower colour sits between gold and orange, warm and vivid, and the plant has a naturally tidy, low-mounding habit that suits it to borders, mass planting, and pot culture in Perth's northern and coastal suburbs. Full sun. Well-drained soil. Water through summer. Drought tolerant once established. Protect from heavy frost.
