Geraldton Wax Flower
Plants of the genus Chamelaucium range in growth from 15 cm to 3 m in height. The best known one is Geraldton Wax Flower, a native shrub growing to around 2 m in height, endemic to south western Western Australia.
This cultivar I grow is 'Sarah's Delight' and is charming once again with the subtle pink blush of its flowers. It has a rounded growth habit and warm shell-pink flowers winter through to spring.
Each flower just 10 mm diameter.
