Preferred Soil: | Prefers dry, well drained to moist moderate drainage |
Beautiful delicate foliage and sprays of pink to purple flowers that bloom in spring to early summer that provides textural interest appealing to pollinators like bees. This is a hardy plant with drought tolerance once established and versatile, adaptable to a range of environments, from sunny positions to dappled shade shrub.
Care Considerations: | Although drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during prolonged dry periods will keep it looking its best. Minimal pruning is required except to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth which is recommended after flowering. A light application of a balanced fertiliser in early spring can support healthy growth and flowering. |
