Pimelea Marshmallows 180MM

Pimelea ciliata 'Marshmallows'

I am Pimelea Marshmallows. My family originated from South Western Australia.

Habit Shrub - Floral Display

Plant family Thymelaeaceae

I'm Pimelea Ciliata Marshmallows, and I'm here to make your garden even more beautiful. I'm a small, low-growing shrub that can reach up to 60cm in height. My leaves are soft, hairy and grey-green in colour. My flowers are small and white in colour and appear in clusters during spring and summer. I'm drought and frost tolerant and can grow in a variety of soils. I prefer full sun but can also tolerate some shade. I'm a great addition to rockeries, hanging baskets and low level garden beds. With my bright, white flowers and low maintenance requirements, I'm the perfect plant for any home gardener. So, come on, why not give me a try today!
