We love this plant for its unique fan-shaped flowers that bloom prolifically, enveloping the plant in a cascade of color from spring through autumn. As a hardy, drought-tolerant Australian native, it thrives in coastal conditions and is highly versatile. It can be used as ground cover or planted in containers, making this plant a fantastic choice for a variety of garden settings.
Care Considerations: | Regular watering is recommended during the establishment period and during extended dry periods, however once established is notably drought-tolerant. While not strictly necessary a balanced, slow-release fertiliser can be applied in spring to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Pruning is not generally necessary but can be done to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. |
