Philotheca myoporoides Winter Rouge

Common Name:
Winter Rouge Wax Flower

Description:
Philotheca myoporoides ‘Winter Rouge’ is a stunning Australian native shrub valued for its soft, aromatic foliage and vibrant winter floral display. This hardy evergreen features deep green leaves with a reddish-bronze tinge in cooler months, adding year-round colour to the garden. In late winter to spring, it produces masses of star-shaped, pale pink flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. Winter Rouge thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to part shade. It is drought and frost-tolerant once established, making it a fantastic choice for native gardens, borders, and container planting.
