A dense compact dwarf shrub with small neat soft foliage and massed displays of gold candles with cherry red styles, blooming from late summer to winter. Long anticipation period buds to flowering; honeyeaters visit constantly. Outstanding cottage style plant for low borders, around bold rockwork, and a sensational showy container plant.
Clip out spent flowers, feed with low phosphorous native fertiliser early spring.
