DIOSMA PINK FOUNTAIN NL

DIOSMA PINK FOUNTAIN NL

A fine-textured, evergreen shrub grown for its clouds of soft pink, starry blooms and aromatic, needle-like green foliage. Best in a warm, sheltered spot in Ireland, it thrives in full sun with well-drained, light soil and benefits from protection from frost; in colder areas its well suited to containers that can be moved to a frost-free place for winter. Lightly trim after flowering to keep a neat, bushy shape.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
