How to grow Pimelea 'Silver Ghost' in NZ

Pimelea 'Silver Ghost' grows best in a sunny position with well drained soil. Before planting, improve heavy soils with organic matter or coarse material to enhance drainage and encourage healthy root development. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering once plants are settled. This variety performs well in coastal and exposed environments where its hardy nature can be fully appreciated. Applying mulch around the base helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds while supporting strong early growth.

Pimelea 'Silver Ghost' care tips

Pimelea 'Silver Ghost' is relatively low maintenance and requires little ongoing care. Water during extended dry periods, particularly while young plants are establishing. Light pruning can be carried out after flowering or as required to maintain a compact shape and encourage dense growth. Fertiliser is generally unnecessary in fertile soils, though a light application in spring may promote fresh growth. Remove any damaged or dead stems as needed. Good drainage and full sun are essential for maintaining plant health.

Pimelea 'Silver Ghost' size, spacing, and growth rate
