I am a particularly bright and colourful compact, small growing, native shrub. I produce clusters of spectacular red flowers with bright gold tips throughout spring through summer and often a second flush in the autumn. I am hardy of coastal conditions and perform well in exposed and windy locations. I will benefit from a light prune to shape after flowering particularly if container grown. I attract small nectar feeding birds to the garden.
