Platysace Edna Walling® Flower Girl™

A compact, lightly suckering small shrub (15 - 25cm x 25 - 40cm) with tightly set tiny rounded leaves.  Creamy ‘bouquet’ flowers open from pink buds, making a lovely combination of colour from spring to summer. Flowers attract butterflies and dainty harmless native bees.  Will grow in cool temperate to sub tropical climates, in sand or open well drained loam, neutral to acid pH.  Full sun or light shade is suitable, will tolerate moderate frost, and is fine for second line coastal areas.

Uses:  Edging pathways as a border or randomly amongst other cottage garden plants; a dainty container plant for courtyard or patio decoration.

Maintenance:  minimal, requiring only regular tip pruning to promote new dense growth.  Feed with low phosphorus fertilizer in spring or late summer. If container grown, keep moist but do not over water.

Edna Walling Flower Girl is designed for cottage gardens, containers and raised garden beds, is long flowering and easy to grow.

Chosen to represent the style of plants Edna Walling could have used in today's gardens.
