Description
"Sarah's Delight", a cultivar of the Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium), boasts delicate shell pink blossoms that provide a serene backdrop for any garden setting. This medium-sized shrub, indigenous to Western Australia, proudly showcases its gentle flowers from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring). It's an ideal choice for gardeners keen on introducing a touch of subtle elegance and native Australian charm to their landscapes.
To ensure a thriving "Sarah's Delight", plant it in the ground and improve any poor, sandy soils with a high-quality soil conditioner. While it prefers regular watering during its establishment, its resilient nature shines once mature, needing additional water predominantly during heatwaves. To keep the plant flourishing and flowers at their best, fertilising in Djilba (early spring) and Djeran (autumn) is paramount.
