Description
"Marshmallow Delight", a variant of the Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium), allures with its delicate flowers that meld soft pink and white hues, reminiscent of fluffy marshmallows. This Western Australian native medium shrub brightens gardens with its blossoms from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring), becoming an enchanting focal point.
For optimal growth in ground conditions, it's best to enrich poor, sandy soils with a high-quality soil conditioner. As "Marshmallow Delight" sets its roots, regular watering aids its establishment, but as it matures, its resilience shines, mainly needing hydration during intense heat waves. To maintain its robust health and splendid display, remember to fertilise during Djilba (early spring) and Djeran (autumn).
