‘Griffiths Pink’ is a striking hybrid of Brachychiton populneus and Brachychiton discolor, combining durability with vivid floral display. This evergreen tree features glossy green foliage and masses of soft pink, bell-shaped flowers that bloom from late spring through mid-summer, delivering strong seasonal colour and contrast.

Tough yet ornamental, ‘Griffiths Pink’ is well-suited to gardens, parks, and streetscapes where drought tolerance and low maintenance are valued.

Looks excellent when planted in groups for a layered flowering effect or used as a single feature tree to add a vibrant lift to structured plantings.
