Name That Plant!

Need help identifying this plant please.

16 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to find the name of this plant. It's about 45cm wide at 2 years old. It has tiny star shaped pink and white flowers all the way through, lime green foliage, heather/conifer leaf. Flowers in spring, slow growing.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks

Coleonema pulchellum (formerly C. pulchrum) common name Diosma.

Yours looks like one of the golden cultivars.

Cheers,
Dee.

wow that was quick! thank yoU! I think aquilegia seeds are poisonous, so I sadly think I might have to dig these up. I was concerned about number 1 too though - so hope someone can help me with that! Lesley

Looks like a plumeria. There is a whole forum on them here on gardenweb. It's probably not flowering because it wants better soil/bigger pot.
