A graceful plant that will fill the air with sweet perfume, particulaly on balmy evenings. An Australian native, where it is found growing in open woodland and grassy meadows, this cultivar is rarely seen here in the UK. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful addition to the garden, where it will provide clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers throughout the summer. Plant it near an outdoor seating area or entranceway to take full advantage of their fragrance.Garden care: Keep the soil or compost moist by watering regularly during dry spells and feed with a balanced fertiliser every fourteen days. Although usually grown as an annual, plants that are protected with a dry mulch may survive mild winters where temperatures only occasionally fall below -5°C (23°F)
