Why we love this plant!

Reeves Pink produces pink brush-like flowers that attract birds and beneficial insects, contributing to local biodiversity. Its compact size and prolific flowering make it suitable for borders, mixed plantings, or as a feature plant. Adapted to drought and poor soil conditions, it is a low-maintenance choice for gardens across South East Queensland.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and may not require regular watering.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying mulch around the base may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • Fertilisation is generally not required.
  • A slow-release, low-phosphorus fertiliser before blooming may promote healthier growth and flowering.

Pruning preferences:

  • Pruning after flowering may encourage a denser growth pattern and promote more blooms the following season.

Good to Know:

  • Produces soft pink flowers that attract pollinators.
