The Geraldton Wax 'My Sweet Sixteen' (Chamelaucium uncinatum hybrid) produces pure white flowers in early spring that mature to a rich crimson color, creating a stunning bi-color appearance of crimson, white and all shades in between. This remarkable color transformation makes it a spectacular garden feature and exceptional cut flower.
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 more blooms for next season's display.
