25th February 2016
A small shrub from the north-west of the state of Victoria, Australia. In habitat it experiences both drought and frost, though neither in excess.
Eventually it has grown too large for the greenhouse so I have cut it back and planted it out.

It grew well for the first summer but was cut back hard by the Beast from the East in 2018.
About half of the branches survived and it resprouted well. Although it is now a little lop-sided it has started to flower again.
It is said to be one of the hardier forms for gardens.
