- I produce stunning red and yellow flowers in an explosion of colour from autumn through to spring
- I attract small nectar feeing birds like honey eaters and spinebills for which I provide food and habitat
- Adaptable I am just as happy growing in a pot or other container as I am planted out in the garden
- Hardy I cope with frost, dry conditions, extremes of temperature & perform well in most free draining soils
I feature stunning bright red and yellow flowers on the end of short branches from winter through to summer which contrast beautifully against my soft grey/green foliage.
Taller than I am wide I am a good choice for borders, low hedges and pots.
My flowers attract nectar feeding birds, butterflies and beneficial insects.
Hardy and naturally tidy I am a good choice for challenging areas such as courtyards, beside swimming pools and exposed locations.
I trim well and can be maintained in formal shapes suiting me to low screening and native habitat creating hedges and formal plantings.
I do best in a well-drained soil or a quality native potting mix if container planted.
I make a great cut flower.
