Coleonema pulchellum is an evergreen shrub featuring aromatic, needle-like foliage and masses of starry pink flowers in winter through spring. Highly effective as an informal hedge, soft screen, border accent, or mass erosion control on hillsides. It is drought-resistant once fully established, but performs and looks best with light, regular watering. Requires very well-drained, sandy, loamy, or rocky soil. It will rot quickly in heavy, waterlogged clay. High tolerance to airborne coastal salt makes it an excellent choice for seacoast landscapes. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Moderate resistance to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 20°F.
