Description
"Ivory Pearl", a cultivar of Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium), graces gardens with its delicate white blossoms from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring). This medium-sized shrub, hailing from Western Australia, enchants with its native charm, making it an ideal addition for gardeners seeking elegance combined with hardiness.
When establishing "Ivory Pearl" in the ground, it appreciates consistent watering but proves its resilience once settled, with additional watering required only during extreme heat waves. To boost its growth and flower production, fertilising in Djilba (early spring) and Djeran (autumn) is recommended. For gardens with sandy, less fertile soils, a high-quality soil conditioner is advised to nurture its development.
