Epacris pinoidea

Epacris pinoidea is a small, erect to semi-erect shrub from eastern New South Wales, growing up to about 50 cm, with white tubular flowers in January and February. It is a native of sandstone rock fissures in forest, so it suits free-draining, lightly moist conditions, though it is rarely grown outside its native region.
