(Seed Grown)
A compact, rounded shrub from the south coast of Western Australia, Phymatocarpus maxwellii typically grows 3–6 feet tall and wide. Its grey-green foliage forms a neat backdrop for bright pink-magenta flower clusters that burst to life from late spring into summer—an easy way to light up the garden and bring in pollinators.
 
It thrives in sandy or gravelly, well-drained soils and handles neutral to slightly acidic conditions with ease. Surrounded by clay? Go with a berm or a big pot. Give it full sun and a little frost protection when young, and you’ll have a tough, drought-tolerant shrub that keeps on giving year after year.
