It won't take long to understand the attraction of the beautiful Eriostemon 'Flower Girl White' after encountering the idyllic blooms and heavenly fragrance. This hardy evergreen shrub really is a scented wonder, worthy of a place in any garden, many even comparing the aroma to the ever-popular gin and tonic beverage that inspires the common name.
This compact, scented ornamental is covered in small pale pink buds from March to May, soon opening into star-shaped bright white flowers. Their delicious, sweet perfume even rivals that of a Daphne, and much like its contemporary, it also thrives in free-draining soil in a sunny, sheltered spot.
Notably, and in addition to its aromatic flowers, the foliage has glands that emit a citrus-like scent when crushed or touched, which makes them particularly useful as a cut flower.
This hardy and reliable early-flowering shrub will grow happily in dappled shade, bringing year-round interest to your garden with evergreen leaves, superb flowers, and wonderful perfume.
Supplied as an established plant in a 17cm pot, ready to plant out.
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
