Platysace Edna Walling® Pom Pom™

An aromatic bushy small shrub (40 - 65cm x 50 - 75cm) with mini ‘hydrangea’ flowers in spring and summer.  Buds are soft pink, opening to creamy white, and are displayed well above the foliage.  Grows in cool temperate to sub tropical and semi arid climates, in sandy or well drained clay loam soils, neutral to acid pH.  Likes full sun or light shade, will tolerate moderate frost, and suits second line coastal areas.

Uses: a perfect cottage garden plant, especially in massed groupings; for borders in small gardens; or as a long flowering container plant.  May also be picked as a dainty posy for indoor decoration.

Maintenance:  regular light pruning will create a hedge-like habit; in containers, snip off spent flowers, trim to shape. Feed with low phosphorus fertilizer in early spring or late summer.  If grown in container, use only best quality potting medium, keep moist but do not over water.

Edna Walling Pom Pom is the perfect partner for little Edna Walling Flower Girl, growing just a little taller and with filmier foliage. Why not grow them together in a large container?
