Flowering prolifically all year with large showy soft pink blooms which contrast beautifully against my light green lobed foliage I attract nectar feeding birds and other wildlife.
I have a naturally dense rounded form suiting me to many garden styles and making me a good choice for a native screening hedge.
Hardy and adaptable I enjoy a free draining soil and a sunny or partially shaded aspect.
Low maintenance I will benefit from a light prune to shape to keep me looking good. I will handle the occasional moderate cut back.
I just as happy planted in a large planter in a quality native potting soil as I am garden planted. This is a great way to bring colour and interest to paved and other hard to plant areas.
