Growing Pimelea tomentosa Successfully in NZ

Pimelea tomentosa Care Tips

Pimelea tomentosa is a hardy native shrub that thrives in full sun and free-draining soil. Water regularly during the first year to help it establish, then only in extended periods of dryness. It dislikes wet or heavy soils, so avoid planting in poorly drained areas. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the base. Minimal pruning is required; trim lightly after flowering if needed. A light application of native plant fertiliser in spring will support healthy growth.
