Description

Pink Breath of Heaven is a graceful, fine-textured evergreen shrub valued for its delicate, needle-like aromatic foliage and profusion of dainty pink flowers. Its arching, wispy branches are covered in tiny, bright green leaves that release a pleasant, clean scent when brushed. From late winter through spring, it is adorned with countless small, star-shaped, light pink blooms that give the plant a soft, hazy appearance. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, salt-resistant, and low-maintenance, it is an ideal choice for adding airy texture and color to water-wise gardens, coastal landscapes, or informal hedges.

  • Airy, Fine-Textured Form: Features wispy, arching branches covered in tiny, aromatic, needle-like leaves, creating a soft, fountain-like effect.

  • Prolific Winter-Spring Bloom: Produces masses of delicate, star-shaped, light pink flowers from late winter into spring, often with sporadic rebloom.

  • Exceptional Drought & Coastal Tolerance: Thrives in hot, dry, and sunny conditions once established and is highly resistant to salt spray and wind.

  • Low Maintenance & Deer Resistant: Requires minimal water, no fertilizer, and is generally pest and deer free. Light pruning after flowering maintains shape.

  • Versatile Landscape Use: Perfect for water-wise borders, rock gardens, informal hedges, seaside plantings, or as a specimen for its unique texture.

Faqs

Q: When and how should it be pruned?
A: Prune lightly immediately after the main spring flowering period. This helps maintain a dense, compact shape and encourages fresh growth. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood.

Q: What are its soil requirements?
A: It demands excellent drainage. It thrives in sandy, gritty, or rocky soils and is ideal for slopes. In heavier soils, amend with plenty of coarse material (like pumice or gravel) to prevent root rot. Avoid overly rich or moist conditions.
