Perfect For
Ideal for sheltered sunny borders, coastal gardens, Mediterranean-style plantings and large containers. Perfect as a specimen plant or focal point. The exotic flowers bring a touch of the antipodes to British gardens.
Growing Tips
Plant in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Requires a sheltered position and protection from hard frosts. Excellent in containers which can be moved to frost-free locations in winter. Water regularly during establishment and hot, dry periods. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.
Looks Great With
Combines beautifully with other Mediterranean and Australian plants such as cordylines, phormiums, eucalyptus and lavenders. The hot pink flowers contrast wonderfully with silver foliage plants and blue-flowering perennials.
A spectacular choice for adventurous gardeners seeking to add exotic colour and form to sheltered spots, rewarding careful siting with months of stunning floral displays.
