Comments:

Giggles has two very distinct qualities:
1. She forms a small, bushy and very compact tree that never exceeds 150 cm in height (5ft). As she grows the distal tips actually start to produce smaller and smaller leaves inhibiting further growth. This makes her perfect as a patio, balcony or any small space plant. She also does well inside as long as she gets at least some light. Her leaves are small, rounded and she gets very fluffy for her height. The flowers and the leaves are proportionally small to the overall form. Easily trained into a graceful small standard.

2. She blooms constantly. When she starts, she simply doesn’t stop. She can create flushes, but there is little difference between a flush and her normal sunny happy self just blooming her heart out. She creates single, double and occasionally triple blooms at the same time, without some obvious reason. If kept inside over winter, with just a bit of light she will try to bloom there too. She creates blooms on every node, tiny stem twig, root twig, absolutely everywhere.
