Fantastic new waratah that is a cross between Telopea Speciosissima and T. oreades. A dense medium to large shrub with broad deep green foliage with medium sized flower heads providing nectar flow for eager honeyeaters. Beautiful snow white flower colour. Needs a protected position as the flower bracts tend to burn in full sun or wind. A great feature shrub for general garden beds or rockeries. Also suitable for a large container and is a great cut flower. Feed with a good native fertilizer in spring, watering in well afterwards.
