A small, bushy and hardy perennial shrub to about 1.2 m high and 0.7 m widewhich produces a prolific display of deep maroon-red flower buds in Late Winter which progressively fade to light pink as the buds mature.

Inflorescence: type corymb, bud just prior to anthesis: length 5.0mm, width 3.1mm, shape in profile ovate, shape of apex cone shaped with a rounded tip, shape of base rounded, . Flowering time: midseason in spring with repeat flowering in autumn.

A compact small shrub that has aromatic curry-scented leaves and clusters of mauve pink flowers in spring.

Compact small shrub with aromatic leaves and with masses of pink buds which develop into white flower heads for most of the year.

Upright small shrub with aromatic leaves and terminal purple red buds flower heads which develop in Spring. Comparitor: Ozothamnus diosmifolius 'Just Blush' Diagnosis: Ozothamnus diosmifolius 'Just Blush' - terminal inflorescence shape broad ovate, number of capitula 100-200; density - dense; capitulum main colour - blue pink RHS 48C, time of anthesis: early Ozothamnus diosmifolius 'Royal Flush' - terminal inflorescence shape rounded, number of capitula <100; density - sparse; capitulum main colour - purple red RHS 70B, time of anthesis: medium to late

The general morphology of the cultivar is as for the species, but the flower size, at 3cm, is towards the larger end of those recorded for the species. The flowers are shaded from very pale pink inside to darker pink edges with crimson stamens. Diagnosis: The colour of the flowers is similar to those of E. lucida 'Pink Cloud', but the stamens are crimson, giving the appearance of a crimson centre.

Leaves are compound and shiny green on the upper surface. Each leaf consists of + 20 long narrow lobes, occasionally these being subdivided into two. Some lobes end in a small hooked point, others in a straight point. The overall length of a leaf is + 30cm and the width + 10cm. Individual lobes are about 10cm long and 2-4mm wide. The leaf edges are rolled under. Flowers are pink with long cream to very pale green styles. Flowers are about 15cm long and approximately 5cm wideand produced in dense terminal racemes. Individual flowers are borne in tight pairs and are woolly. Perianth tube and limb together measure about 1.3cm long, styles are up to 3.5 cm long. Diagnosis: G. 'Pink Surprise' can be distinguished from its parents by its pink flower colour

In cultivation the cultivar is slightly more compact than the type and attains a height of 1.5m. All morphological characteristics of the cultivar are as for C. pachyphyllus. The flowers are a salmony pink to shell pink in colour and are plus/minus 8cm long by plus/minus 6cm wide. It is stated that in Brisbane this cultivar has some flowers for most of the year with two main flowering peaks, in summer and from autumn to early winter. The flowers during the summer months are slightly paler in colour. Diagnosis: The cultivar differs from the normal red and green flowering forms of C. pachyphyllus in the salmon pink to shell pink colour of its flowers.
