Summary

[edit]
Description

Common name: Slender goldshower, Thriallis, Rain of Gold, Spray of Gold

Botanical name: Galphimia glauca (syn. Galphimia tristellateia australasiae, syn. Galphimia gracilis, syn. Galphimia gracillis, syn. Thryallis glauca) - [ (gal-FIM-ee-uh) anagram of Malpighia, to which it is closely related; (GLAW-kuh) Bloom has thin powder (like plums) ] Family: Malpighiaceae (Barbados cherry family)

Origin: Tropical America

This bushy landscape favorite has small, glossy green leaves and almost continuous displays of small bright yellow flowers. Since it tolerates a variety of conditions, including drought and wind, it is a useful garden bedding plant in tropical gardens and also does well as a pot plant in greenhouses.

Galphimia prefers well-drained soil and needs full sun to flower profusely but will grow in partial shade. It should be pruned back occasionally after flowering to make a better shape. Propagation is by means of cuttings or seeds, which are produced in abundance.
