Coleonema pinkii

Coleonema pinkii Details

Coleonema pinkii, commonly known as Pink Diosma, is a popular shrub due to its attractive, aromatic foliage, and star like flowers. The bright green foliage is soft and feathery, borne on slender stems, and releases a pleasant and light fragrance when brushed against. The foliage is adorned with masses of small, pink flowers from late winter through spring. This evergreen typically grows to 60 cm tall and 1 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It will tolerate frost, cool climates, coastal conditions, dry periods, and some wind. Coleonema pinkii is often used as a groundcover, included in mixed plantings and borders, or planted near a walkway where its beauty and aromatic foliage can be appreciated.
