Notes from the plant tag:

Little Dugald is a low growing 1 - 2 m tall x 1 m wide dense evergreen shrub with very attractive glossy green leaves.

The dense foliage will provide shelter for small native birds and is generally pest and disease free.

It is able to be grown as a container plant, minimum maintenance hedge, as a compact foreground shrub, or general landscaping where very hardy plants are required.

Truly spectacular bright red flowers completely cover the bush several times a year but mainly in late spring and early summer, providing abundant nectar for native birds.

Little Dugald is easy to grow in full sun or part shade in most soil conditions.  Little Dugald tolerates medium to light frost, is wind and drought hardy and is especially suited to exposed seaside conditions due to its salt tolerance.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain tidy compact growth.
