Coleonema pulchrum is a splendidly versatile evergreen shrub, originating from the rugged landscapes of South Africa and often referred to by its common name, Diosma. A testament to nature's beauty, Diosma stands proudly at a mature size of up to 4 feet in both height and width. This eye-pleasing shrub is adorned with fine, needle-like foliage that delivers a delightful, spicy aroma when crushed, a feature that often inspires its alternate nickname, 'breath of heaven.
