🌿 Main features
☀️ Care in Perth
Position: Full sun to part shade. Full sun encourages compact growth and better flowering.
Soil: Prefers well-drained soil. It performs well in sandy Perth soils once established.
Water: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it is reasonably drought tolerant, but occasional deep watering during Perth’s hot summers will improve its appearance.
Fertiliser: Use a controlled-release fertiliser suitable for Australian natives in spring. Avoid heavy applications of high-phosphorus fertilisers.
Pruning: Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a compact, dense shape. Avoid excessive pruning into old, leafless wood.
