I am a dainty, upright, evergreen shrub with long, narrow, aromatic leaves and completely covered with masses of magenta star shaped flowers with starry points from June to November.
Bred by Kings Park I am hardy and tolerant of most soils and conditions but I enjoy dappled shade and a free draining neutral to acidic soil rich in organic matter.
I will perform better with consistent moisture particularly during dry spells.
I am moderately frost tolerant.
