A compact, erect, tropical plant with layers of hydrangea-like flowers that come in many colours including whites, pinks, yellows, red and lavender mauve.
The stems are grey to brown in colour and have very sharp, conical thorns and glossy green foliage.
They thrive as an indoor potted plant and will take more heat then most others, though they do well outside in warmer climates.
Ideal for pots, patios, though best away from passing traffic due to the thorns.
