How to Look After in Perth
- Plant in a full sun position for the best colour and growth.
- Use well-drained soil and avoid heavy clay or waterlogged conditions.

- Avoid excessive phosphorus fertilisers; use a low-phosphorus fertiliser formulated for Australian natives if feeding is required.
- Mulch around the base while keeping mulch away from the stem.
- Thrives in Perth’s warm, dry summers and mild winters.
Regular Maintenance
- Prune lightly after the colourful bracts fade to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushy new growth.
- Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches as needed.
- Avoid cutting back into old, leafless wood, as regrowth may be poor.
- Fertilise lightly in spring if required using a low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser.
- Monitor drainage, especially during winter, to prevent root rot.
