Why we love this plant!

A fast-growing, adaptable native shrub that flourishes in South East Queensland’s varied conditions, from coastal to hinterland areas. Its bright yellow flowers attract pollinators year-round, while its dense growth provides shelter for small creatures. It is ideal for erosion control on slopes or in revegetation projects, particularly in sandy or loamy soils common in the region.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Requires moderate watering, becoming drought tolerant once established.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying organic mulch may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • Fertilisation is not strictly necessary, though a light feed with balanced fertiliser during the growing season may support growth.

Pruning preferences:

  • Pruning after flowering may encourage a bushier habit and help maintain a tidy appearance.

Good to Know:

  • Well-suited to South East Queensland’s climate, handling both coastal conditions and seasonal dry spells.
