A small compact evergreen spreading shrub that bears attractive yellow bracts with a flush of red in Winter to early Spring.
To get the best colour it needs a position in full sun in an open airy situation.
Soils should be free draining and slightly acidic.
Due to it's compact habit it requires only a light pruning to shape and size once flowering has finished. Provide one deep watering per week during periods of prolonged dryness in the first Summer after planting.
A useful plant for rockeries or at the front of a shrub border. Will also make a nice patio container plant using a low phosphorus potting mix.
Height 75cm. Width 1.m.
