Geraldton waxflower

The beautiful spring-time hot pink of Geraldton waxflower, Chamelaucium uncinatum.

 

The profusion of long lasting waxy flowers on a spreading, dense shrub are the outstanding feature of this iconic Australian plant. Growing up 4 m in height.

 

Native to south-west Western Australia.

 

The foliage is aromatic when crushed. Flowers are small and have five petals, ten stamens, and are followed by small, hardened fruit.

 

Each flower 10 to 15 mm diameter.
