Chamelaucium Free Spirit - waxflower
Free Spirit is a compact free-flowering Geraldton wax with heaps of vibrantly magenta-purple blossoms which make superb cut flowers too. Large enough for informal acreage hedging, small enough to sneak into a back yard flower bed.
A new release from the renowned Australian range of Helix waxflowers for you, fresh from the plant breeder.
Most of our waxflowers are usually available for sale late January-early February onwards until they sell out.
