Description
The Pink Diosma "Brilliant Pink" (Coleonema pulchellum var. roseum) is celebrated for its clusters of dazzling pink flowers that bloom from Makuru to Kambarang (winter to mid-spring). With its scented foliage, which radiates a golden lime-green hue under intense sunlight, this cultivar stands out for its consistent size and particularly showy flowers. It serves as a robust hedge, making a statement in gardens and offering an aromatic appeal.
When positioning "Brilliant Pink" in the ground, integrating a good soil conditioner is advised for those dealing with sandy soils, ensuring the plant thrives. It's suited to well-draining soils and performs well in both full sun and partial shade, with the latter potentially reducing the intensity of the foliage's lime-green glow. Watering needs are reduced in the cooler seasons. To promote its vibrant growth and blooms, apply a balanced fertiliser during Birak (mid-summer). Light, consistent trims maintain its form, but refrain from heavy pruning to retain its radiant beauty.
