Unique, hardy Australian native shrub that produces a prolific display of deep maroon-red flower buds in Late Winter. Flowers progressively fade to light pink as the buds mature and then open to a lemon colour throughout spring, resulting in a multicoloured effect. A very hardy and versatile plant which can be used in a wide range of landscape applications in a full sun or part shade situation. Makes an excellent feature plant for pots and tubs. For floral arrangements, harvest stems just before the flower buds begin to open. Can be grown in all mainland Australian states in both coastal and inland situations in well drained soils. Tolerates drought and light frost once established. Grows approx. 1.2m tall x 70cm wide.
