Product Description
Eriostemon myoporoides 'Flower Girl Pink', commonly known as Pink Waxflower, forms a tidy, rounded shrub with slender stems and narrow, glossy green leaves. In spring, the plant is covered in delicate blush-pink flowers with deeper pink centres, creating a soft and elegant contrast against the evergreen foliage.
Its compact structure makes it ideal for patio containers, sheltered borders and smaller garden spaces where its subtle colouring can be fully appreciated. The pastel pink blooms blend beautifully with whites, purples and silvery foliage, adding freshness and charm to seasonal planting schemes.
