Dwarf Pink Diosma 180MM

Coleonema pulchrum compactum

I am Dwarf Pink Diosma. My family originated from South Africa.

Habit Shrub - Easy Care & Low Maintenance

Plant family Rutaceae

I am a hardy, dwarf, evergreen shrub. I produce masses of tiny pink flowers from winter to spring. I attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects to your garden and exude a gentle citrusy scent that attracts humans too. Unclipped I will form a compact rounded form but I can be clipped into a variety of very precise dense formal shapes. Plant me in a row to create a low hedge. I do just as well in a pot and in the garden.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

I produce numerous tiny pink, star shaped flowers on fine aromatic foliage from late winter through spring

I am a good choice for general planting, borders and rockeries but also in pots and containers
