Care guide for Perth
Sunlight: Plant in full sun for the best flower display. Light afternoon shade is helpful during extreme heat.
Soil: Use well-drained sandy or loamy soil. Avoid waterlogged soil, especially in winter.
Watering: Water regularly while establishing, then deeply during extended dry periods.
Fertiliser: Apply a light, balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring.
Pruning:
Remove faded flower spikes to encourage further flowering and tidy the plant.
Maintenance:
Remove old or damaged leaves and divide established clumps when they become overcrowded.
Landscaping importance
Garden borders: Ideal for adding bright orange colour to the front or middle of garden beds.
Mass planting: Plant in groups for a striking display of orange flower spikes.
Pots and courtyards: Its compact size makes it suitable for containers and small gardens.
Waterwise gardens: A good choice for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant landscaping once established.
Wildlife gardens: Flowers attract bees, butterflies and nectar-feeding birds.
