Naturally suited to Adelaide’s coastal, dry and Mediterranean climate, it thrives in heat, sandy soils, and windy conditions while maintaining a neat, spreading form. Its semi-succulent green foliage remains attractive year-round, sometimes taking on bronze or red-toned tints in cold weather or very dry periods. Exceptionally resilient and long-flowering, it is ideal for borders, rockeries, native gardens, and container use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15–0.25 m H × 0.5–0.8 m W (low, spreading habit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–40 cm spread per year under good conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine to mid-textured bright green leaves; evergreen; occasional bronze or reddish tones in winter or dry periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abundant pink fan-shaped blooms from spring to autumn; peak flush September–April\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"77\" data-end=\"91\"\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers are not considered fragrant; foliage has no noticeable scent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very long flowering season with evergreen structure and subtle cool-season foliage tints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Popular nectar source for bees, butterflies and small native pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly drought-tolerant, heat-tolerant and wind-tolerant once established; excellent coastal tolerance (front-line); light frost tolerant with protection from hard frost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–5 plants per m² for a dense carpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-toxic to cats and dogs, though eating large quantities may cause mild stomach upset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun for best flowering; tolerates light or dappled shade with reduced bloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers free-draining sandy or loamy soils; thrives in slightly alkaline or saline coastal soils common across SA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks\/week for 8–12 weeks.
