My rousing red display starts in spring and goes through to autumn finishing an exotic dusky mulberry.

My abundant blooms are on upright stems and I make a great cut flower. My blooms are at their brightest around the summer festive season in Australia.

I am happy in most soils but appreciate regular moisture and good drainage.

Protect me from hot winds.

If grown indoors I will appreciate being put outside during winter to rejuvenate.

My compact habit and bushy form suits me to mass planting, low hedges and shrub borders.

I am very happy in pots and containers and a great way to bring colour indoors, to balconies and paved areas.

Prune me back hard to a bud pair in early spring to encourage good form.
