Lots to delight every gardener here as Ruby's flowers start out white, open to pale pink, mature to lolly-pink then turn two-tone coral and pink with centres of deep maroon. Happy in a hot dry location like an outback garden; not so happy in tropical places.

Most of our waxflowers are propagated in summer after they finish flowering, so tubestock plants are usually available for sale February onwards until they sell out. We occasionally have a small amount of supply around August-September.

We can't ship this product to South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia.
