Gin & Tonic Plant

About it

Drink in the delightful aroma! Philotheca myoporoides or the Gin & Tonic plant is a fun and fascinating addition to Christmas and beyond. Ideal as a gift that will intrigue as this unusual plant releases the scent of a freshly poured gin and tonic when leaves are brushed or crushed! It is supplied with a festive 10.5cm red zinc bucket and will make a sensational seasonal display for its novelty value alone. This aromatic shrub can be aclimatised and planted out after Christmas in a sheltered spot to give year-round interest. In spring it produces white star-shaped scented blooms as a further delight. Philotheca myoporoides likes a neutral to acidic soil and will appreciate a sunny sheltered spot in your garden where it will reach a height and spread of 1.5m. Prune to tidy in autumn and feed regularly between spring and autumn whilst in peak growth. Overall dimensions - 30cm height x 15cm width. (snowflake label not included)
