I am a spreading native shrub with bright red spider-type flowers and fine needle-like foliage.
I am an excellent plant to attract birds and butterflies to your garden.
As a low growing spreading shrub my brilliant red flowers bloom en masse from late winter through spring.
The fine dense foliage adds texture to the garden and reduces weeds by blocking light to the soil.
My low height makes me a good ground cover.
