Tetratheca thymifolia Pink 140mm

Tetratheca thymifolia 'Pink' 140mm Pot

Delightful Australian native shrub producing masses of soft mauve-pink flowers that brighten the garden from late winter through spring.

Tetratheca Pink is a compact, low-growing evergreen shrub with an attractive naturally mounded habit and fine grey-green foliage. During late winter and spring, the plant becomes covered in masses of delicate mauve-pink bell-shaped flowers, creating a stunning display that attracts native bees and other beneficial pollinators. Its compact size and neat growth make it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, borders, rockeries and decorative containers.

Hardy and easy to grow, this beautiful native is also well suited to coastal gardens where it provides long-lasting colour with minimal maintenance.
