Flowering in spring and again in autumn, it produces masses of bright red bottlebrush blooms that are highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds, bees and pollinators.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis versatile Australian native can be grown as a large shrub or small tree, forming a dense, spreading habit with attractive, textured bark. Whether used as a feature plant, informal hedge or screen, Kings Park Special delivers year-round structure along with seasonal bursts of colour.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nExtremely tough and adaptable, it performs well across a wide range of soil types and climates, including coastal conditions, drought and even heavy frost once established.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: approximately 3–4 metres high × 3–4 metres wide\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlant in full sun to light shade in well-drained soil.

This variety is very forgiving and can be cut back hard if needed, reshooting readily from dormant buds.
