DESCRIPTION: Compact growing evergreen shrub with a prostrate form. The leaves are fine and covered tiny hairs growing tightly along the stem. Flowers are bi-colour yellow and orange. Also known as 'bacon and egg' plant.USES: Perfect for dry areas. Plant in rock gardens, seaside and Australian cottage gardens. The flowers are rich in nectar and attract birds.
PLANTING: Plant in a full sun to lightly shaded location in soil which is free draining. Boost with liquid fertiliser following extremely hot or dry conditions.
CARE: Continue to water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Trim lightly after flowering to encourage compact growth and a fresh flush of flowers.
