Description
The "Dee's Delight" Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium) graces gardens with a mesmerising range of flowers, transitioning from pristine white to deep mauve-pink. Native to Western Australia, this medium-sized shrub showcases its vibrant blooms from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring), adding a touch of elegance and colour. Its versatile nature means it can be a standalone centrepiece, or seamlessly integrated within mixed garden beds.
For the "Dee's Delight", a position in the ground is preferable. If faced with sandy soils, consider amending with a soil conditioner for optimum plant health. This beauty thrives best in sun-drenched spots and requires consistent watering to maintain its vigour. Come Djilba (early spring) and Djeran (autumn), nourish it with a balanced garden fertiliser to ensure a robust bloom season ahead.
