This bonny wee offspring of Spring Fire and Fiji Fire, Little Dugald is a bushy bright fella, with lime-khaki leaves and salmon-red pompom flowers like his dad.

He's an easy-going outdoor bloke who loves hanging out at the beach, in breezy spaces, soaking up the sunshine, atracting the birds.

Give him a feed each spring and a haircut in summer, and he'll be right.

APPEARANCE : Dwarf bushy shrub with bright smooth khaki-green leaves year round, and eye-catching fluffy orange-red pincushion flowers during spring and intermittently through the year.
USE FOR : Salt and wind tolerant, ideal for sea-side planting, bird attracting and makes a great low hedge or on its own as a specimen plant. Site away from pipework as roots can be troublesome.

CARE: Prune lightly following after flowering is finished, or clip to maintain a lower hedge height. Fertilise with native-plant fertiliser early spring and at planting.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 1.2-1.5m H x 1-1.5m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
