'Sweet As'

Australian native plants are renowned for their hardiness, once established, and can provide a brilliant display whilst many exotic plants are out of season. Attracting, colourful seed and nectar-loving birds, various insects to assist in pollination and perhaps even a lizard or skink searching for a sheltered resting place, these plants are a welcome asset to any garden.

FEATURES: Small Australian native shrub with a semi weeping habit. Produces sweetly scented blush pink flowers. Flowers are produced along the entire stem and open from the lower parts of the stem first.

CONDITIONS: Suited to full sun or part shade positions in most soil types as long as drainage is adequate. Frost and drought hardy once established.

FOR BEST RESULTS: Tip prune young plants regularly to develop a neat habit. Mulch around the base of the plant to suppress weeds and retain moisture in the drier months.

PLANTING IDEAS AND USES:

• Native cottage style gardens
• Waterwise gardens
• Cut flowers
