Alstonia yunnanensis

Alstonia yunnanensis
A new species for UK gardeners as far as I know – a possibly hardy shrubby member of the apocynaceae from southern China reminiscent of oleander but with beautiful richly tinted long oval leaves and sprays of rosy pink flowers in summer. 
Alstonia yunnanensis
My plants survived the freezing blast of December 2023 in pots in the unheated tunnel and can apparently handle -8C. 

sold out for now
