Pimelea or Qualup Bell

We believe that the grafted varieties of Pimelea or Qualup Bell are an adaptable native plant. Originally from Western Australia the image (left) was taken in the Dandenong ranges east of Melbourne, a long way from the sand belts where they originated. This is a grafted plant we purchased from Vaughans Australian Native Plants (just outside Geelong) about 3 years ago. Its doing well in a large pot, but would do equally well in a well drained position in the garden. The Qualop Bell is a great plant, this one is flowering in May, very attractive green and red bell shaped flowers. A real Native Australian Beauty. Try the Nurseries on The Qualup Bell Page
