Why we love this plant!

A tropical shrub well-suited to South East Queensland’s warm climate, Coral Fire produces clusters of vibrant red-orange flowers that bloom continuously through the warmer months, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for hedging, borders, or as a feature shrub in both urban and suburban landscapes. Thriving in humid conditions, it performs well in free-draining soils and benefits from mulching to retain moisture. This low-maintenance plant brings a splash of long-lasting colour to gardens while also supporting pollinators with its nectar-rich blooms.
