- My naturally dense form and columnar habit suit me to screening and informal hedges
- My tiny scarlet tubular flowers appear year round and are a magnet for small nectar feeding birds
- My soft woolly foliage is pleasant to touch and gives me the common name 'Woolly Bush'
- Hardy I am ideal for exposed locations and coastal planting. I tolerate most soils but need good drainage
I am an Australian native with velvety soft foliage with a silver sheen that feels nice to touch.
I have tiny, relatively insignificant bright red tubular flowers that are very good at attracting nectar feeding birds to the garden.
I need a well-drained soil and am tolerate to drought once established.
My very dense form suits me to dense informal and screening hedges.
I do well in pots.
