Green Cape™ Crowea

A compact, prostrate little shrublet (15cm H x 50 – 80cm W) with short thick aromatic foliage and masses of multi-hued pink waxy star flowers from late spring through to early winter. Butterflies, moths and dainty harmless native bees love the flowers. Hardy and drought tolerant, it grows readily in very dry to moist, well drained clay or sandy soils, acid to mildly alkaline pH. Loves full sun or light shade, hardy in cool temperate to sub tropical and semi arid climates, thrives in dry coastal sites or inland gardens. Tolerates moderate frosts.

Uses: when mass planted, it is a beautiful landscape accent; plant along path edges for a soft mounding effect, or clustered amongst bold rockwork; plant in multiples in large containers for a stunning long-flowering focus in patio or courtyard environment.

Maintenance: only requires light trimming after flowering to maintain dense soft new growth and massed flowering. If container grown, use only best quality, well drained potting mix. Do not over water. Feed in early spring or late summer with low phosphorus controlled release fertilizer.

One of the best container plants you could choose.

And flowering at summer's end right through to winter.  What a charmer!
