A cloud of 1-2" soft-pink (aging to rose) fragrant flowers smothers this upright evergreen 15-25' shrub during summer; from the woodlands of Tasmania, a very special accent plant. S-PSh/M

Very cool. This was selected from a wild population in NW Tasmania for its pink flowers (RHS color group 54B for those who gotta know which shade of red) as opposed to the typical white for the species. Best grown in a sheltered position or mild garden - against a wall is good.

Has small pink flowers 1 ½” across. We have had plants to 8 tall in containers that make upright shrubby plants. The narrow leaves look somewhat like olive leaves.
