About 'Local Hero'

Waxflower ‘Local Hero’ is a stunning compact landscape plant bred by Kings Park and Botanic Gardens, featuring abundant dainty pink blooms in late spring and growing to approximately 80cm high and 1.5m wide.

These waxy blooms flower for an extended period complimented by a backdrop of fresh, green and fine foliage creating a wonderful display

From 2023 the BGPA and BGPA’s commercial partner Helix Australia will support the SAS Resource Fund with $1.00 from each plant sold to be donated to that fund.

The SAS Resource Fund aims to support current and former members of the Australian Defence Force, as well as their families, who face hardships due to their service with the Special Air Service Regiment. This assistance extends to other Defence Force personnel and their families left affected by disability or loss during Special Air Service Regiment operations, exercises, or activities.
