Lasiopetalum behrii - Pink Velvet Bush

Lasiopetalum behrii (Pink Velvet Bush) is a charming Australian native shrub renowned for its soft, velvety foliage and delicate pink star-shaped flowers that bloom from winter through spring.

Growing Conditions:
• Height: 1-2m, Width: 1-1.5m
• Full sun to partial shade
• Well-draining soil
• Drought tolerant once established
• Frost tolerant to -5°C

Garden Uses:
Perfect for native gardens, cottage gardens, or as a feature shrub. The soft textured foliage provides excellent contrast against other plants, while the winter flowering period adds colour when many other plants are dormant. Ideal for east-facing and south-facing areas in cold climate gardens.

Care:
Low maintenance once established. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect roots during cold periods.
