A dense medium to large shrub with grey-green foliage with large red flat flower heads. A cross between T. speciosissima and oreades, which makes it a good garden performer. A great feature shrub for general garden beds or rockeries, also suitable for a large container. Waratahs are a great cut flower, and a well grown specimen can bear many blooms. Best in a well drained acid soil, likes a feed in spring with a good quality native fertilizer, watering in well after application.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column]
