Notes from the plant tag:
A decorative, low growing shrub reaching on average 50 cm high and 1.2 m wide. Features large, bright, gold coloured "candle" flowers well displayed from mid autumn till early spring. Highly attractive to native nectar feeding birds.
"Stumpy Gold" needs well drained soils. Mound garden beds up in heavy clay situations.
Suits full sun to partly shaded aspects. Mulch around plants for best results.
Although hardy to dry periods, occasional deep watering during dry spells will improve growth and flowering. Annual, light applications of low phosphorus slow release fertiliser can promote new growth and flowering. Hardy to moderate frosts.
