Why we love this plant!

A popular evergreen shrub for South East Queensland gardens due to its ability to withstand warm conditions and retain its dark green foliage year-round. It flowers prolifically from late spring through to autumn, providing a food source for bees and other beneficial insects. Its dense habit makes it excellent for hedging and screening, particularly in subtropical urban landscapes.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Regular watering is important, particularly during blooming periods.
  • Avoid overwatering, as inconsistent moisture can cause bud drop.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying mulch may help retain moisture and protect the root system.

Fertilising preferences:

  • Compost and organic manures may improve soil health.
  • Ensuring adequate iron levels can help prevent yellowing leaves.

Pruning preferences:

  • Light pruning after the main flowering period may help maintain shape and encourage new growth.

Good to Know:

  • Prefers warm, humid conditions and benefits from morning sun with afternoon shade in South East Queensland.
