It blooms profusely with gorgeous, bright cerise flowers in autumn and a few flowers all year round.

This colourful plant is beautiful planted at the base of small trees or in amongst smaller grasses for a more natural look. It also makes a wonderful container plant. Plant in well-drained, compost rich soil and mulch well.
