I am an Australian native evergreen shrub that produces vibrant dark fuchsia flowers year-round, especially in spring and early autumn.
My flowers will attract nectar-feeding birds and insects to your garden.
I am ideal for use as an informal hedge, feature shrub, in border plantings, Australian-themed landscapes, windbreaks, on slopes, and in raised gardens.
I am a hardy fast-growing plant that can thrive in diverse conditions, from Sydney's humidity to Melbourne's frost, making me an ideal choice for both beauty and durability.
I thrive in a full sun to part shade position and tolerate a range of soils, including clay, loam and sand.
To keep me looking good, prune me lightly after flowering in spring and again in early autumn. For a natural appearance, prune me every few years. To boost my growth, apply a slow-release fertiliser.
