Why we love this plant!

With its cascading growth habit and bright lemon-yellow tubular flowers, ‘Lemon Falls’ adds movement and colour to gardens, hanging baskets, or rockeries. Its arching, slender stems create a flowing effect, making it a visually dynamic feature plant. Thriving in South East Queensland’s warm climate, it is drought-tolerant and well-suited to sunny locations. The nectar-rich blooms attract a variety of pollinators, including butterflies and bees, while also providing a food source for small nectar-feeding birds.

Care Considerations

Pruning preferences:

  • Pruning back in late winter or early spring may help maintain shape and encourage fuller, more vigorous growth.

Good to Know:

  • Prefers full sun and is well-suited to South East Queensland’s warm climate.
