Pimelea rosea
Pimelea rosea is an erect shrub from south-west Western Australia, grown for its clusters of pink to reddish-purple flowers. It needs well-drained soil and full sun to part shade, and it does best in a mild, dry-summer climate.
Pimelea rosea, commonly known as rose banjine, is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with narrowly elliptic leaves, and clusters of pale pink to reddish-purple flowers surrounded by 4 egg-shaped involucral bracts.
Subspecies rosea grows on sand dunes, coastal limestone and granite outcrops in woodland with tuart, and in winter-wet places, in near-coastal areas between Lake Pinjar and Cheyne Beach in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia. Subspecies annelsii has a more inland distribution, growing in woodland, usually with marri and jarrah between Mount Barker, the junction of the Hay and Mitchell Rivers, and Narrikup in the Jarrah Forest bioregion.
