Why we love this plant!
Why we love this plant!
This Australian native features narrow, dark green foliage and delicate purple flowers, which attract birds and pollinators. Thriving in shaded and sheltered locations, it is a valuable addition to understory plantings, tropical gardens, and shaded courtyards. Its slender, upright form allows it to be planted in narrow spaces, making it a great screening option for compact gardens. Adapted to South East Queensland’s climate, it grows well in coastal and inland environments, offering low-maintenance greenery that complements a variety of landscaping styles.
