Coleonema compactum, also known as Dwarf Pink Diosma is a compact, evergreen shrub native to South Africa. It typically reaches a size of 1 to 2 feet in height and spread, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, containers, or low hedges. The plant features fine, needle-like, aromatic foliage and produces small, pink, star-shaped flowers that add a delightful fragrance to the surroundings.
To grow Dwarf Pink Diosma successfully, provide it with well-drained soil and a sunny location, as it thrives in full sunlight. Regular watering is essential during the establishment period, but once established, it can tolerate periods of drought. Prune the shrub lightly after flowering to maintain its compact shape and encourage new growth. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture and control weeds. Overall, this attractive and low-maintenance shrub will bring a touch of beauty and scent to any garden or patio space.
