An evergreen spreading shrub closely related to the Boronia, it has dark green, rounded leaves with slightly hairy undersides.
It's the long, dusky pink tubular, bell-shaped flowers that look a little like Fuschias that make this plant a distinctive and beautiful flowering native shrub.
They attract nectar feeding birds but can be short lived - e.g. 3 - 5 years.
Generally hardy in coastal regions, fairly drought tolerant and prefering less humid conditions, these plants go well in native or exotic gardens.
They make a useful addition to larger borders, go well in pots and planters and also make a useful low hedge.
