Diosma Pink Fountain

Diosma ‘Pink Fountain’ is a delicate, evergreen shrub valued for its fine foliage and masses of soft pink flowers that appear in spring.

In a garden centre setting, ‘Pink Fountain’ is popular with customers looking for a compact, decorative shrub that brings colour and elegance to patios, borders, and containers.

Flowers, Foliage & Visual Appeal

The most attractive feature of Diosma ‘Pink Fountain’ is its abundance of small, star-shaped pink flowers that appear in spring. These delicate blooms cover the plant, creating a soft cloud of colour that contrasts beautifully with the fine, needle-like green foliage.

The foliage itself is aromatic when gently brushed, adding an extra sensory element to the plant. Its naturally neat and slightly arching growth habit gives the plant a graceful fountain-like shape, which is reflected in its name.

Growing Conditions & Easy Care

Diosma ‘Pink Fountain’ grows best in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil. It prefers lighter soils and benefits from protection from strong winds and severe frost. In cooler climates it is often grown in containers so it can be moved to a sheltered location during winter.

Care and growing advice:

• Plant in full sun for best flowering

• Light trim after flowering to maintain shape

Good drainage is particularly important, as the plant does not tolerate waterlogged conditions.
