Australian native plants are renowned for their hardiness, once established, and can provide a brilliant display whilst many exotic plants are out of season. Attracting colourful seed and nectar-loving birds, various insects to assist in pollination and perhaps even a lizard or skink searching for a sheltered resting place, these plants are a welcome asset to any garden.

FEATURES: A hardy and versatile small evergreen shrub with semi-erect branches and narrow bluish-green to bright green foliage. Masses of rose-pink to purple cone-shaped flowers are borne throughout Winter and Spring.

CONDITIONS: Prefers a well-drained soil in a sunny to partly shaded position. Tolerant of moderate frost once established.

FOR BEST RESULTS: Apply a layer of mulch around the base when planting to reduce weed competition and retain soil moisture. Avoid waterlogged conditions. Can be lightly pruned.

PLANTING IDEAS AND USES:

• Ideal planted as informal hedge or screen
• Prolific and striking floral display
• Combine with other natives in mixed beds and borders
• Attracts nectar feeding birds to the garden
