Description
Chamelaucium 'Meringur Mist' is a medium-sized shrub native to Western Australia, renowned for its profusion of small white flowers that bloom from autumn to early spring (Djeran to Djilba). The shrub reaches approximately 2 metres in height and 1.5 metres in width, forming a spreading yet dense habit. Its fine, aromatic foliage adds to its ornamental appeal, making it a standout feature in garden beds or as a screening plant. The long-lasting flowers are highly valued in floral arrangements, and the leaves can be used in infusions, imparting a tangy lemon flavour.Thriving in Perth's climate, 'Meringur Mist' prefers a full sun position with well-drained, sandy soil enriched at planting. Water deeply during warm weather in its first year to establish a robust root system; once established, it exhibits good drought tolerance but may benefit from additional watering during heatwaves. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages prolific blooming in the following season.
