Cream Pink is a fast growing evergreen that will remain as a small shrub if grown in a full sun position, reaching a height of approximately 1m. However, when planted in partial shade the plant will produce trendils and become a climber. This variety produces delicate creamy-pink flowers during the warmer months.
Cream Pink can flower all year round when planted in tropical areas. Ideal for growing on over fences, carports and verandahs. It also makes a fantastic potted feature for a patio or alfresco area.

Bangalow Palms are native to Australia and are often used as indoor plants here down South. To grow into a very large tree they would probably require warmer climates than Melbourne, but as a small or medium size tree they look lovely anyway.
Use Bangalow Palms as a clumped indoor plant or in a sheltered spot outdoors to add a tropical feel to the garden. |
