Bird attracting

Notes from the plant tag:

Large, erect evergreen shrub growing to approximately 2 m.  Outstanding NZ hybrid. Hardy and fast growing.

FEATURES:  Long bright yellow bracts form in winter and spring contrasting well against the mid-green foliage.  Excellent cut flower with long vase life stems to 1 m.

CONDITIONS:  Plant in well drained, slightly acidic soil in an open, sunny position.  If drainage is poor, plant on a sloping bank or raised bed.  Improve poor soils by digging in organic matter.

FOR BEST RESULTS:  Avoid disturbing sensitive surface roots.  Only in poorest soils, use a low phosphorous, slow-release fertiliser sparingly in spring or autumn.  Remove spent flowers.  Prune after flowering to maintain size and shape. In colder areas avoid summer or autumn pruning which would promote frost tender new growth.
