- I am a mass of bright red pink blooms during winter and spring
- 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
- Suitable for coastal planting. I thrive in most free draining soils
A low rounded shrub I flower prolifically through winter and spring with showy red pink blooms.
I am a native large shrub that attracts nectar feeding birds, bees and beneficial insects for which I am food source.
Fast growing with 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.
