Gin and Tonic Plant Flower Girl White
It won't take long to understand the attraction of the beautiful Eriostemon 'Flower Girl White' after encountering the idyllic blooms and heavenly fragrance. This hardy evergreen shrub really is a scented wonder, worthy of a place in any garden, many even comparing the aroma to the ever-popular gin and tonic beverage that inspires the common name.This compact, scented ornamental is covered in small pale pink buds from March to May, soon opening into star-shaped bright white flowers. Their delicious, sweet perfume even rivals that of a Daphne, and much like its contemporary, it also thrives in free-draining soil in a sunny, sheltered spot.Notably, and in addition to its aromatic flowers, the foliage has glands that emit a citrus-like scent when crushed or touched, which makes them particularly useful as a cut flower.This hardy and reliable early-flowering shrub will grow happily in dappled shade, bringing year-round interest to your garden with evergreen leaves, superb flowers, and wonderful perfume.Supplied as an established plant in a 17cm pot, ready to plant out.
