Botanical Name
Crowea exalata x saligna ‘Compact Form’
Common Name
Compact Hybrid Crowea
Description
Compact Hybrid Crowea is a delightful native shrub renowned for its profuse pink star-shaped flowers and exceptionally neat growth habit that creates beautiful displays in Australian gardens. This attractive hybrid combines the best features of both parent species, producing masses of small, five-petaled pink flowers that bloom almost year-round, attracting native bees and butterflies while providing continuous color. The small, narrow leaves create attractive fine-textured evergreen foliage that maintains ultra-compact, dense growth habits perfect for the smallest spaces. Hardy and adaptable once established, it thrives in well-drained soils and partial shade to filtered light positions with protection from harsh afternoon sun. Perfect for containers, small borders, and areas where compact native shrubs with reliable flowering create charming landscape displays in limited space.
