⭐ Main features
☀️ Care in Perth
Position: Full sun is best for compact growth and flowering.
Soil: Use very well-drained soil. Sandy or sandy-loam soils are ideal.
Watering: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it has good drought tolerance, although occasional deep watering during very hot Perth summers can be beneficial.
Fertiliser: Generally requires little fertiliser. If needed, use a low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser in spring. Avoid high-phosphorus fertilisers.
Pruning: Light pruning after flowering can help maintain a compact shape. Avoid heavy pruning into old, leafless wood.
