Description
"Jambinu Zest" is a captivating cultivar of Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium) that showcases alluring dark crimson-pink flowers. Native to Western Australia, this medium shrub blooms from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring). An additional charm is its edible leaves, which boast a robust citrus flavour akin to Lemon Myrtle.
When planting "Jambinu Zest" in the ground, a quality soil conditioner is beneficial, especially in sandy soils. The plant appreciates ample water during its establishment phase, but once rooted, it stands resilient, requiring additional hydration only during intense heat waves. To ensure a continuous burst of colour and vigour, fertilise in Djilba (early spring) and Djeran (autumn).
