FLOWER : late fall, winter & spring This cross is one of the best Dombeyas around. Very easy to grow and bloom but difficult to propagate placing this shrub in the rare plants category.
When mature this Dombeya forms a pretty decent size shrub reaching to about 8 feet in height and about the same in diameter.
The dark pink flowers appear in the fall and can go to early spring. Unfortunately unlike other Dombeyas, the flowers are not fragrant.
Domeya x seminole can be kept smaller by trimming making it suitable for container culture.
