Key Features:
Growing & Care Guide
- Soil: Any - clay, loam, sandy or well drained.
- Light: Full sun to semi shade, performs best with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering: Water deeply and regularly for the first 1-2 seasons until established; once mature, reduce to low water and water only during extended dry or hot periods.
- Fertiliser: Apply a low phosphorus slow-release native fertiliser once a year in spring; avoid high phosphorus fertilisers as these can be harmful to Australian natives.
- Maintenance: Low maintenance overall, prune lightly after each flowering flush to encourage bushy growth and repeat blooming; mulch well around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Flowering: Produces striking crimson bottlebrush flower spikes across three seasons- Spring, Summer and Autumn. Providing near year round colour and a reliable food source for nectar feeding birds.
