Coleonema Compactum Pink

Common Name:
Dwarf Pink Breath of Heaven

Description:
Coleonema Compactum Pink, commonly known as Dwarf Pink Breath of Heaven, is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its fine, aromatic foliage and delicate pink flowers. Blooming profusely from late winter to spring, its tiny, star-like flowers attract bees and butterflies, making it a wonderful addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. This hardy plant thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun but can tolerate part shade. It is drought-resistant once established and grows well in coastal conditions. Its naturally dense, rounded habit makes it ideal for low hedging, borders, rock gardens, or container planting. The soft, feathery foliage adds texture and movement to the landscape, offering year-round colour and visual interest.
