Philotheca nodiflorus
$16.00
The charming native - Philotheca nodiflorus - is quite unlike the more familiar bushy, shrubby philothecas. It forms a delicate, open shrub with fine foliage reminiscent of its close relative boronia, along with slender rosemary-like leaves that release a refreshing citrus fragrance when crushed. A native of Western Australia, it produces an abundance of dainty, five-petalled, star-shaped flowers from winter through spring, appearing at the tips of each stem in beautiful watercolour shades ranging from pale lavender to soft blue—an unusual and highly sought-after colour in the garden. Ideal for cottage gardens, native and wildlife plantings, or as a feature in pots and containers, with its soft blue tones making it a standout addition to mixed flower beds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, encourage bushiness, and promote prolific blooming, then apply a slow-release native fertiliser for best results.
