Conebush 'Safari Sunset' is a stunning indigenous fynbos shrub known as the common sunshine conebush with a long flowering season from May to December, perfect for adding vibrant seasonal color to water-wise gardens. The flowers change color from striking burgundy red in summer and autumn to bright yellow and red bi-color in winter, creating spectacular displays throughout the year. This hardy South African plant makes excellent cut flowers and is ideal for low maintenance, low water use gardens. Plant 2-2.5m apart for screening or use as a striking specimen plant in mixed fynbos plantings. Feed annually with a low-phosphorus indigenous plant fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and vibrant seasonal color changes. For best results, plant in Arnelia Premium Potting Soil for optimal drainage and nutrition.
