A dense shrub with wedge-shaped leaves that have serrated edges and burgundy cylindrical flowers up to 35cm long in winter and spring, that gows to four metres tall. This plant is ideal for garden privacy or a native hedge due to its dense foliage, will grow in full sun to part shade in well drained soils and is tolerant of wind and coastal conditions. It attracts native birds and insects for food source and habitat.
