Rose Pink Ayoba Bush

• Developed specifically for Australian gardens, combining beautiful pink blooms with excellent drought tolerance. Flowers attract native bees and butterflies to your garden.
• Forms a rounded, bushy shape reaching mature size within 2-3 years. Dense foliage provides year-round structure even when not flowering.
• Blooms repeatedly through spring and summer with proper care and deadheading. Pink flowers fade gracefully and don't require constant removal.
• Extremely low maintenance once established, making it ideal for water-wise gardens and busy lifestyles.

• Water deeply once or twice weekly during establishment, then reduce to weekly in summer and fortnightly in cooler months. Check soil moisture 5cm down before watering.
• Position in full sun location with morning sun priority. Can tolerate light afternoon shade in extremely hot climates.
• Plant in well-draining garden soil enriched with compost. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged positions.
• Feed with slow-release native plant fertiliser in early spring. Avoid high-phosphorus fertilisers which can damage Australian native plants.
• Prune lightly after main flowering flush in late summer. Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.
• Mulch base with organic matter to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Keep mulch away from main stem.

• Plant in full sun to partial shade position with at least 6 hours direct sunlight for best flowering. Morning sun with afternoon protection works well in hot climates.
• Water deeply but infrequently once established, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Increase frequency during flowering periods and hot summer months.
• Prefers well-draining soil with good organic content. Mulch around base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Prune lightly after main flowering flush to encourage bushier growth and remove spent blooms. Avoid heavy pruning in winter.

• Aphids can cluster on new growth and flower buds - spray with horticultural oil or encourage beneficial insects like ladybirds. Check regularly during spring flush periods.
• Powdery mildew may appear in humid conditions with poor air circulation. Ensure adequate spacing and avoid overhead watering.
• Root rot occurs from overwatering or poorly draining soil. Plant in well-draining soil and reduce watering frequency.
• Scale insects can attach to stems and leaves, causing yellowing. Remove manually or treat with neem oil applications.
