Coleonema pulchrum syn. Diosma
Coleonema is a compact, evergreen shrub with very aromatic foliage and clusters of pale pink flowers from late Winter into Spring. They are easy to care for,
Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Plant in acidic, rich, free-draining soil, in a sheltered, sunny or partially shaded spot
Propagating by cuttings
From Late Spring TO Late Summer
Propagate Diosma by tip cuttings taken in the warm late Spring to late Summer months. Cut a 1" piece of healthy stem, and strip off the leaves from the lower half. Fill a pot with a mix of perlite and peat moss, and water it well. Use a small stick to make a hole, and place the cutting in the hole. It will be approximately 6 months for the roots to grow sufficiently for the cutting to be planted out
Flowering
From Late Winter TO Mid Spring
The pretty pink flowers appear all over the shrub in late Winter through to Spring
