Radermachera sinica

Radermachera — commonly called the China Doll Plant — is a tropical shrub prized for its exceptionally fine, glossy foliage that creates a dense, lacy texture unlike most other shrubs in the South Florida wholesale market. Its fine leaf texture provides a striking contrast when paired with bold-leafed plants like Clusia or Bird of Paradise.

While less common than Clusia or Podocarpus, Radermachera is a useful addition to the landscape contractor's toolkit for clients seeking something different. Its dense branching habit and adaptability to a range of light conditions make it a versatile option for hedges, screens, and mixed tropical plantings.
