Common Name:
Hemizygia ‘Pink Fizz’
Description:
Hemizygia ‘Pink Fizz’ is a compact, aromatic perennial shrub celebrated for its soft grey-green foliage and delicate spikes of pink, tubular flowers that appear en masse from late spring into autumn. A member of the mint family, this hardy South African native is well-suited to Australian gardens, particularly those with a Mediterranean or dry-climate style. ‘Pink Fizz’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating periods of drought once established. Its scented foliage and nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, making it a beneficial addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. With its tidy, mounding habit and extended flowering season, this plant is ideal for low borders, mass plantings, and containers, offering both visual appeal and functional resilience in Melbourne’s varied conditions.
