- My prolific delicate large pink with hints of orange toothbrush style blooms appear all year
- My blooms are a magnet for nectar feeding birds, beneficial insects and other wildlife
- My dense habit and response to pruning suit me to being a wildlife attracting screening hedge
- I need minimal water once established
- Prune lightly after flowering and fertilise with low phosphorous organic fertiliser
An upright shrub I flower prolifically all year with pink toothbrush blooms with soft orange tones
are large and showy.
I am a native large shrub that is an absolute magnet for nectar feeding birds, bees and beneficial insects for which I am a year round food source.
Fast growing with deeply divided large leaves and dense form I am a great wildlife friendly screening option.
I respond well to pruning and shaping. Trimming off groups of spent flowers will improve my appearance and encourage even more blooms.
I am tough and adaptable performing well in exposed locations.
I prefer a well-drained soil and should be fed with a native (low phosphorous) fertiliser.
