Additional notes:

Horticulture
- USE IN: Will grow under gum trees which we know will make many gardeners very happy. Good bank binder. Lovely naturalised in paddocks, or in native gardens, front of borders.
- LOCATION: Loves dappled shade but will grow in full sun, prefers free draining sandy soil, neutral to alkaline. Drought tolerant once established; will come through a light frost.
- CARE: Provide plenty of water during the first 12 weeks or until the plant is established; water in very dry periods after that. Mulch after planting and annually to keep weeds at bay. Feed with native fertiliser during spring and summer. Remove the old flower stems in autumn and give it a tidy up.
- YOUR PLANTS: These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80 mm x 42 mm wide.
