Care in Perth

Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh growth. Apply a small amount of native plant fertiliser in spring if required.
Landscaping importance
Desert Flame is ideal for adding bright, long-lasting colour to low-water Perth gardens. Its compact habit makes it particularly useful as a border plant, groundcover, container plant or colourful addition to rockeries and native garden beds.
