Chamelaucium Paddy's Pink - waxflower
This beautiful hybrid between native Geraldton wax and feather flower creates a big bushy shrub with dense clusters of flowers in clear pink. Look closely and you'll see that each flower has a feathery set of petals to match its featherflower parent. For best results these plants need a Mediterranean climate, like that in the southern states and WA; but give it an airy situation and very free-draining soil and try your luck in NSW and QLD.
Most of our waxflowers are usually available for sale late January-early February onwards until they sell out.
