Description

Perfect for fynbos, indigenous, and water-wise landscapes, ‘Cherry Spice’ is equally beautiful in garden beds, rockeries, large containers, and as a source of stunning cut flowers for indoor arrangements.

Plant Care Tips

• Light: Thrives in full sun for the best flowering and strong, healthy growth.
• Water: Water regularly after planting until established. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant and only requires occasional deep watering during extended dry periods.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Avoid heavy clay soils and areas where water remains after rain.
• Feeding: Feed sparingly with a low-phosphorus fertiliser formulated for proteas and other fynbos plants.
• Pruning: Remove spent flowers and lightly prune after flowering to encourage a compact shape and future blooms.
• Growing Conditions: Avoid disturbing the roots once planted and ensure excellent drainage for optimum health.
