Philotheca myoporoides ‘Profusion’
syn. Eriostemon myoporoides
Long-leaf Waxflower is an evergreen, flowering shrub from the citrus family endemic to southeastern Australia. This hardy, compact shrub is relatively new to American gardeners but has been grown in Australia and the United Kingdom for generations for its showy flowers, fragrant foliage, and ease of cultivation. Long-leaf Waxflower grows to four or five feet high and wide and has a dense, rounded habit with narrow, glossy leaves that have a delightful apple-like scent when brushed. In early spring plants produce an abundance of star-shaped, scented white flowers that look just like citrus blossoms, to which it is related.
Long-leaf Wax Flower is adaptable and relatively low-maintenance, preferring well-drained soil, regular moisture, and partial shade. This shrub makes a wonderful option for brightening up a shady corner in the garden and cut stems work well in floral arrangements.
Cold hardy to USDA zone 8a and above, or to 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
For sale are one gallon potted plants
