Common Name
Common Astartea
Description
Common Astartea is a delicate native shrub renowned for its masses of small pale pink star-shaped flowers and fine heath-like foliage that creates charming displays in naturalistic gardens. This attractive species produces clusters of tiny five-petaled flowers in soft white to pale pink tones that bloom profusely in spring and summer, creating delicate displays against the narrow, linear leaves. The fine-textured green foliage provides beautiful textural contrast and remains evergreen year-round. Requiring excellent drainage and protection from harsh conditions, it thrives in well-drained sandy soils and full sun to partial shade positions. Perfect for heath gardens, rockeries, and areas where delicate native beauty and seasonal flowering create authentic Australian landscape displays.
