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

Botanic Name: Chamelaucium uncinatum ‘Sorbetto’(PBR)

**Shrub/Herb – Prolific pink blooms**
Known as a ‘Wax Flower’ I am a stunning flowering native shrub with my masses of pink blooms emerging in mid spring. Happy in most free draining soils I enjoy a sunny aspect but tolerate lightly shaded locations. I have a naturally compact rounded form with fine needle like bright green foliage making me perfect for both pots and in small gardens. 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.

	Height: 1m Width: 1m
	I need low water once established
	Australian Native

I am popular and will make you happy because…

	My compact form is ideal for a pot or other container and I am just as happy planted out in the garden
