Why we love this plant!

A tough and drought-tolerant shrub that produces clusters of striking red flowers for much of the year. Its dense growth makes it a good option for hedging, privacy screening, or adding colour to low-maintenance gardens in South East Queensland.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Moderate watering; drought-tolerant once established.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying organic mulch helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • A balanced fertiliser can be applied in spring to promote healthy growth.

Pruning preferences:

  • A light prune after flowering can help maintain shape and encourage dense growth.

Good to Know:

  • Butterflies are attracted to the flowers; however, all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
