I am a hardy native shrub with very attractive 4 petaled pale pink star flowers produced predominately through winter and spring but are sometimes seen at other times of the year.
My leaves are blue green with a furry texture and are rounded in shape.
Compact and very adaptable I can be clipped to a low maintenance topiary or hedge but maintain my screening density if left unclipped.
Very hardy I am a great choice for exposed locations, coastal conditions, drought and limey soils.
I attract birds and insects for which I provide food and habitat.

Tips for success
I prefer a low phosphorous fertiliser and benefit from a trim to shape after flowering
Plant at least 0.5m apart.
Choose a full sun position.
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.
