Description

PImelea ferruginea 'Magenta Mist'

APPEARANCE : Free-flowering native shrub with clusters of vibrant dark pink flowers. Leaves are small, arranged geometrically around the stem.
USE IN: Mixed borders, containers and baskets; wildlife gardens - butterflies' probosces are particularly suited to slender tubular flowers like these.
PLANTING : Plant in well drained soil in a sunny position. Frost-free climate unless sheltered when it might come through a frost.
CARE: Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Once established, plants are low maintenance and drought tolerant, needing only an occasional clip to deadhead and encourage further flowering. Feed with a slow release or liquid fertiliser for native flowers during flowering to keep it blooming.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 1m H x 1m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
