{"product_id":"dwarf-diosma-compacta-coleonema-pulchellum-compacta","title":"Dwarf Diosma Compacta - Coleonema pulchellum 'Compacta'","description":"\u003cp\u003eColeonema pulchellum 'Compacta' is the go-to Diosma for gardeners who want all the charm of the classic Breath of Heaven in a tighter, more manageable form. Fine, aromatic, needle-like foliage gives the plant a soft, wispy texture that is distinctive and appealing year-round, while profuse small pink star-shaped flowers smother the plant through spring in a display that is generous, cheerful, and reliably repeated each season. At approximately 80cm tall and 50cm wide, it is one of the most practical compact shrubs available for borders, formal hedging, and mass planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow and generally trouble free, 'Compacta' performs well in full sun through to semi shade and adapts to a wide range of well-drained soil types. It is highly frost and wind tolerant, has low water needs once established, and suits coastal gardens, rockeries, low water garden designs, and formal plantings with equal ease. The aromatic foliage releases a pleasant fragrance when brushed, making it a particularly rewarding choice for pathways, garden edges, and courtyard settings where incidental contact brings out the scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn annual slow-release fertiliser, mulch around the base, and occasional moisture during dry periods is all 'Compacta' needs to perform consistently. A light trim after the spring flowering flush keeps the plant compact and tidy and encourages a fresh flush of aromatic new growth through summer and autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Nest","offers":[{"title":"14cm","offer_id":46500023468193,"sku":"Dwarf Diosma Compacta - Coleonema pulchellum 'Compacta' - 14cm","price":9.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20cm","offer_id":46500023500961,"sku":"Dwarf Diosma Compacta - Coleonema pulchellum 'Compacta' - 20cm","price":17.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/9711\/0433\/files\/DwarfDiosmaCompacta-Coleonemapulchellum_Compacta.png?v=1780469496","url":"https:\/\/www.plantnest.com.au\/products\/dwarf-diosma-compacta-coleonema-pulchellum-compacta","provider":"Plant Nest | Trees, Hedging Plants \u0026 Garden Inspiration","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
