Looking to the future: Kings Park wax flowers

Beautiful, delicate and delightfully scented 💮 it's not hard to see why wax flowers are a popular choice for both the home garden and cut flowers!
Exciting times lie ahead, with Kings Park's Chamelaucium breeding program developing hybrids in white, pink and magentas to bloom over a six month period, suitable for both the international cut flower market and home gardens.

So beautyful

I'm sure invertebrates will love these new varieties in peoples gardens. Are they likely to escape gardens into nearby bushland, as the Geraldton Wax currently does?

Hi Life in the Bush, fauna definitely loves them! Kings Park varieties have low to nil fertility, so it is highly unlikely they will become invasive.

Do they hold up well in pots?
