Featuring ever changing beautiful burgundy/bronze fern shaped new growth and stunning flowers year round I create continuous interest in the garden. My brush shaped flowers are more prolific in spring but are usually present year round.
My trailing habit cascades beautifully over retaining walls and large pots. I am a great choice mass planted creating dense and colourful cover with the potential to suppress many weeds.
I benefit from an annual application of a native slow release fertiliser and tolerate dry spells once established.
