Coleonema pulchrum

Pink Breath of Heaven

These delicate-looking evergreen shrubs are valued for their fragrant, fine-textured leaves and abundant flowers. Blooms winter through spring and sporadically throughout the year. Also called Diosma. Prefers sull sun, though becomes taller in some shade. Requires fast-draining soil. Shear lightly after first bloom, and thin out old wood in mature plants.

Graced with tiny pink flowers, this plant is also called Diosma pulchra. Some may reach 10 feet high, though 5 feet high is more common.
