Easy to grow and needing little supplementary water once established, these native shrubs are colourful and compact garden plants and excel in floral arrangements. As cut flowers they are in high demand overseas for the florist trade. In sunny gardens they will grow into a shapely bush full of flower in the first season. Plants will grow to 2 metres and are well suited to edging and to shaping into low hedges. Flowering from late winter and on through spring with large heads of small coral pink flowers in clusters. Buds are attractive for many weeks before the flowers open.
