Tucker Time® Winter Feast™

A gently arching or ground covering plant (50 - 90 cm high x 1.2 - 2m wide) with neat bluish-green foliage and soft pink new growth. Clusters of bright red flowers are particularly eye-catching on days of dull light, glowing amongst the foliage like bright lanterns. They bloom from late summer through to mid spring, with a peak in winter, and provide a sure source of nectar for a range of honey-eating birds.

It thrives in full sun or light shade, in well drained, humus-rich clay loam or sandy soils, neutral to slightly acid pH; is suited to cool temperate to sub tropical or semi arid climates, is frost hardy, and suits a second line coastal situation.

Uses: a versatile, long flowering low shrub or ground cover in open garden beds, on slopes and banks. Plant beside ponds where birds can both feed and drink.

Maintenance: Minimal trimming is required just to maintain tidy shape, may be pruned during late summer or early spring; feed at the same time with low phosphorus controlled release fertilizer.
