Long Leaf Wax Flower Winter Rouge - Philotheca myoporoides Winter Rouge

Philotheca myoporoides Winter Rouge is a compact Australian native shrub valued for its deep red winter foliage and masses of fragrant white flowers in spring. Its naturally dense habit and slow to moderate growth make it ideal for low hedging, borders and contemporary native landscapes. This variety is highly adaptable and performs well in low water gardens once established.

Key Features:

• Soil: Sandy or loamy well drained soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged clay.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade, with best flowering in sunny positions.
• Watering: Low, keep moist when young or during long dry spells.
• Fertiliser: Apply a low phosphorus slow release fertiliser in Spring.
• Maintenance: Light prune after flowering to maintain shape.
• Flowering: Produces masses of white flowers emerging from pink buds, adding colour in the cooler seasons.

Prune lightly after flowering to enhance colour and maintain compact form.
