Perfect garnish!

This cute flowering herb has zesty and uplifting leaves that when used as a garnish help to bring a lemony flair to your dish. Add a leaf or two to oysters, or finely chop and sprinkle over seafood, the acidity of the leaves pack a punch. The flowers, whilst not super palatable are edible in small quantities and can be used to decorate desserts and dishes.

Geraldton Wax is adapted to dry lands, water sparingly-ensuring the soil at the base is dry before giving it another drink. You can insert your Finger into the soil to determine if it needs more water.

To grow Geraldton Wax, find a place in the garden that gets full sun to part shade. Dig the planting hole twice as wide and to the same depth as the size of the planter it comes in.

Place the plant in a hole and backfill with soil, gently firming down. We advise that you form a raised ring of soil around the edge of the plant. This helps to contain water--giving roots a good drink whenever you water. Water well after planting to settle the soil around the roots and give it a good drink to hit the ground running.

If you prefer to mulch, use organic mulch, but keep it away from the trunk. Feeding occasionally with native fertilizer to ensure strong root development is recommended but not mandatory.

The wonderful aroma and taste of Geraldton Wax are likened to that of a lemony pine needle. They are incredibly delicious with seafood and especially stuffed with whole fish. The flowers are also edible, but not in large quantities.
