Geraldton Wax

Beautiful, low-growing shrubs to about 2m high in gardens with aromatic foliage and rounded flowers in pink, red, white and cream. Geraldton Wax is well-suited to Australia's dry gardens and landscapes and the plants cope well with irregular watering and low soil fertility. Use the cut flowers in the home as they will last up to a week.

We recommend the use of Wildflower Seed Starter Granules for improved germination rates and speed. These granules provide chemicals normally found in bushfire smoke that stimulate native seed germination.

When to plant: All year round except in hottest or coldest weather.
How to grow: Sow in warm areas at any time. In frost prone areas when danger of frost is over. Seeds have a thick oily skin. To leach out the oil fill a pot with slightly acidic soil. It is beneficial to add Wildflower Seed Starter granules to soil surface. Wet thoroughly, sow seeds on the surface and cover with fine gravel. Water heavily and often during germination. Place in warm shady position.

Today's Handy Hint

Use old polystyrene fruit boxes as novel planting containers by stacking them at right angles and planting strawberries in the gaps that remain. It also makes watering easy - just water from the top container and the water will circulate down through each layer.
