They are lobed rather than cup shaped, and they open along the full length of each slender stem. The needle-like foliage is typical of Geraldton wax, and the narrow habit suits gardens too small for a rounded shrub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean white flowers.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure white blooms suit cottage borders, white themed plantings and mixed bunches, and they stand out against dark foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms from base to tip.\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers form all along the upright stems, not only at the ends, so the display looks full from every side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow and upright.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 1.5m wide it needs less room than a classic rounded waxflower, which helps in tight borders and beside paths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLate spring to midsummer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Buds appear in mid spring and flowering carries on to midsummer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood in vases and pots.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an excellent cut flower, and it was bred to perform in pots as well as in garden beds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformal hedging.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant 1m apart in a single row for a loose, white flowering screen about 2m high.

It prefers low humidity and suits Mediterranean, arid and drier warm temperate gardens. It takes light frost and exposed sites in most parts of the country, but humid coastal gardens are harder on it, so give it the airiest position you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining soil is essential.
