Description
The "Pinnacle Pink" cultivar of Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium) is a marvel with its captivating red buds that bloom into deep pink flowers. As a medium shrub native to Western Australia, its late blooming phase brightens gardens from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring). The contrast of its red buds and rich pink blossoms makes it a standout choice for gardeners seeking a touch of drama.
For those looking to plant "Pinnacle Pink" in the ground, enhancing sandy soils with a dedicated soil conditioner is recommended. In its early stages, consistent watering ensures its steady growth, but with maturity, it proves hardy, primarily requiring added water during heat waves. To maintain its vibrant bloom cycle, a dose of fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) and Djeran (autumn) is ideal.
