I am an Australian native with a dense, bushy habit making me ideal as a low screening or hedging plant. My flowers are lilac/mauve in colour and can appear all year but more prolifically in spring. I am hardy and proven reliable in most climates and soils provided they are reasonably well drained. I prefer a sunny or lightly shaded location. I can be pruned to shape as required.

I benefit from regular pruning for shape
Plant at least 0.5m apart.

Once established, check soil moisture and water during extended dry periods.
Choose whether you are planting in the garden or a pot to receive guidance built from this plant's light, water, habit and use information.
