Cha Cha Wax Flower 180MM

Chamelaucium uncinatum 'Cha Cha'

I am Cha Cha Wax Flower. My family originated from South Western Australia.

Habit Shrub - Prolific pink blooms
Plant family Myrtaceae
Known as a ‘Wax Flower’ I am a stunning native shrub producing a profusion of glossy red buds during winter which open to delightful pink flowers with maroon centres during spring. Happy in most free draining soils I enjoy a sunny aspect but tolerate lightly shaded locations. I have a naturally dense from with fine needle like bright green foliage. My blooms are long lived when cut making me very popular as a cut flower particularly as a filler in floral arrangements. I am low maintenance but will benefit from a prune to shape after I finish flowering and an application of a native slow release fertiliser as the weather warms in spring. I am drought tolerant once established and cope well with coastal conditions..
