- My prolific blooms attract nectar feeding birds to the garden
- My mauve-red blooms appear in spring into summer but I can spot flower at other times of year
- I am suitable for native or coastal garden, providing food and shelter to native birds and insects
- I thrive in full sun and tolerate shade
- Suitable for coastal planting, I grow in most soils including those that are occasionaly water logged
I am an excellent flowering large native shrub and a great choice for informal hedging and screening.
My mauve-red bottlebrush flowers are abundant except during winter.
My flowers attract nectar feeding birds and insects.
With good natural form I can be left unpruned but can be maintained at a smaller size. A light prune after flowering at the start of winter will encourage flushes of growth.
I thrive in most soils and conditions and am a good choice for boggy conditions where many plants may struggle.
