A pot of this fashionable tipple will make an unusual and memorable gift this festive season. Treat your friends and relations, or yourself, to Philotheca myoporoides – commonly know as the Gin and Tonic plant! When rubbed or brushed its foliage releases the scent of a freshly poured gin and tonic. This seasonal sensation comes with a festive red or silver pot and makes a wonderful gift that can later be planted out in the garden in a sunny, sheltered spot where it will grow into a bushy and beautiful garden shrub.
Likes a moist, well-drained soil and will produce white, star-shaped blooms in spring to add perfumed delight to your garden. Reaches a mature height and spread of 1.5m. Will benefit from a regular feed between spring and autumn with an ericaceous plant food as P. myoporoides like a mildly acidic environment. Lightly prune the foliage in autumn each year to required shape and size.
