Stunning masses of color in spring! This compact shrub delivers spectacular red blooms that invite birds to the garden while creating a vibrant carnival atmosphere. Perfect for low maintenance, low water use gardens and containers, it brings year-round structure and seasonal excitement to any landscape design.
Simple to grow - plant in well-draining, sandy soil in full sun and water deeply twice weekly for the first year, then reduce to drought watering. Apply organic mulch to keep roots cool, avoid all fertilizers as fynbos plants thrive in poor soils, and regularly deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous flowering and maintain the plant's compact form.
