A pretty small, rounded shrub with dense green foliage and clusters of magenta pink flowers, perfect for borders and containers. Nobody will ever guess that this is an Australian native – it looks so at home in a cottage or English style flower garden. It keeps a naturally neat shape and will flower abundantly from it’s first year onwards.

Perfect for floral borders or for growing in a pot as a movable feature plant. It can be a little fussy about hot summers and I have found it likes to have shade through the hottest middle part of the day. This does make it quite useful for growing under large trees like Ironbarks or open Eucalypts that provide midday shelter.

Thrives in well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. Regular watering during establishment is beneficial. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.
