The Geraldton Wax 'Nina's Delight' (Chamelaucium uncinatum hybrid) floods your garden with purple blooms from mid-August onwards and makes a superb long-lasting cut flower. Tough, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance, it's tailor-made for Cape Town's hot, dry summers and thrives in both coastal and inland settings.
Growing Tips: Prefers free-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 more blooms for next season.
