Description
The "Ice Queen" cultivar of Geraldton Wax (Chamelaucium) is distinguished by its larger white blossoms, which bloom from Makuru to Djilba (winter to early spring). Celebrated for its native Western Australian origins, this medium shrub captivates onlookers with its pristine flowers, making it a desired choice for a garden focal point or as a complementary addition in mixed plant beds.
When planting "Ice Queen" in the ground, ensure regular watering during its establishment phase. Once settled, it's notably resilient, calling for additional hydration only during more intense heat waves. To maximise its vitality and bloom abundance, fertilising in Djilba (early spring) and Djeran (autumn) is ideal. In areas with poorer, sandy soils, a quality soil conditioner is suggested to aid its growth.
