Care in Perth
- Sun: Full sun is essential for healthy growth and maximum flowering.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained sandy or gravelly soils. Avoid heavy, poorly drained clay.
- Watering: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it is drought tolerant and only requires occasional deep watering during extended dry periods.
- Fertiliser: Apply a light application of a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring. Avoid over-fertilising.
- Mulch: Use gravel or coarse organic mulch to help conserve moisture while keeping the base of the plant dry.
- Frost: Tolerates light frosts.
- Coastal conditions: Excellent tolerance to coastal winds and salt spray, making it ideal for Perth’s coastal gardens.
Pruning and maintenance
- Lightly trim after the main flowering period to maintain a compact, rounded shape.
- Remove spent flowers and any dead or damaged branches.
- Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, as recovery may be slow.
