The Geraldton Wax 'Cotton Candy' (Chamelaucium uncinatum hybrid) produces an abundance of beautiful soft pink flowers from mid-August onwards that will brighten up any garden. These stunning flowers make excellent cut flowers and the plant can also be used as a short hedge, making it ideal for low maintenance, low water use gardens.
Growing Tips: Plant in well-draining soil in full sun to partial shade. Very drought-tolerant once established with minimal water requirements. Avoid heavy clay soils and over-watering. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth for hedging.
