An evergreen shrub with an erect growth habit. It is rather striking when in full bract colour. Coppery bracts develop in early Autumn which change to a coppery gold colour in late winter to early spring.
It is best suited to well drained lighter acidic soils. Not suited to heavy soils.Provide one deep watering per week during periods of prolonged dryness in the first summer after planting.
Once established it is quite drought tolerant.
Pick long stems as a form of pruning. Once flowering has finished, prune the remainder of the long stems to enhance flowering for next season.
