Astartea Winter pink

Common Name: Astartea 'Winter Pink'

Description: Astartea 'Winter Pink' is a dense, compact shrub reaching approximately 0.5 meters in height and width. It features small, narrow leaves about 4-5 mm long, arranged in whorls around the stems. From April to October, this cultivar produces profuse and conspicuous deep pink flowers, each about 10 mm in diameter with five petals. The blooms occur in clusters on stalks arising from the leaf axils, adding vibrant color to gardens during the cooler months.

Astartea 'Winter Pink' is ideal for borders in native plant gardens and can be propagated from cuttings to maintain its true form.
