How to recognise it

Small star-shaped five-petalled flowers clustered along wiry stems
Fine needle-like aromatic foliage
Buds tightly rounded before opening
Woody, wiry stems typical of waxflower
Light citrus-resinous scent when leaves are crushed

Care

Strip foliage that would sit below the waterline and recut stems at an angle before placing in clean water. Keep away from ripening fruit and other ethylene sources, as waxflower is sensitive to ethylene and will shed flowers quickly if exposed. Use a floral preservative to extend life and keep in cool conditions.
