Philotheca ‘Winter Rouge’ is a dazzling winter performer that brings colour and charm just when your garden needs it most. Masses of deep pink buds smother the plant before opening into crisp white, star-shaped flowers, creating a beautiful two-tone display through the cooler months.
Its fine, glossy green foliage forms a neat, compact shrub, making it perfect for borders, feature planting, native gardens or large pots. Flowering generously from winter into spring, ‘Winter Rouge’ not only adds brightness to the landscape but also attracts bees and pollinators.
Hardy and low maintenance, this Australian native thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. It’s a reliable performer that delivers a spectacular seasonal show year after year.
Tip: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a dense, rounded shape and encourage even more blooms next season. Avoid heavy fertilisers — use a low-phosphorus native fertiliser in spring to keep the plant healthy and thriving.
