Plant Sizing Guide

The Mickey Mouse Plant (Ochna serrulata) is an ornamental shrub appreciated for its unusual, multi-stage seasonal transformation. After the delicate yellow petals fall, the remaining sepals swell and turn a brilliant, fiery red. Shiny black non-edible berries mature atop this bright red base. When viewed upside down, it resembles the face and ears of a cartoon mouse. The glossy green leaves add to the plant's visual appeal. Mickey Mouse Plant typically blooms in late spring to early summer, and its playful, cartoon-like appearance adds a touch of fun and novelty to outdoor spaces.

Note: While birds eat them safely, the berries are not considered an edible fruit crop for humans. They are grown purely for their visual and ornamental value.
