Description
The Pink Diosma "Dwarf Form" (Coleonema pulchellum var. roseum) showcases enticing clusters of small pink flowers from Makuru to Kambarang (winter to mid-spring). Paired with its aromatic foliage, which can turn a golden lime-green hue in robust sunlight, this dwarf shrub is an aromatic delight and visual treat. Its compact nature makes it ideal for gardeners looking to introduce a touch of colour, especially in smaller spaces or as a standout border plant.
When planting in the ground, especially sandy soils, the integration of a quality soil conditioner is recommended to enhance its growth. This Pink Diosma favours well-draining soils and does well in both full sun and partial shade, with its vibrant new growth most pronounced in strong sunlight. Watering can be moderated during the cooler seasons. To keep it flourishing, apply a balanced fertiliser during Birak (mid-summer). Regular light trims will keep it in form, but avoid heavy pruning to ensure its continued vibrancy.
