Hardy, small, semi-deciduous shrub with glossy, mirror-like leaves that flush red in spring. As with Ochna natalitia this beautiful plant deserves pride of place in any garden with its profuse, scented, yellow flowers from Sept. to Dec. and black fruit on an enlarged red calyx. The seeds attract birds to the garden. Grows very well in containers in sun or semi- shade areas. Used medicinally.
