Drought Tolerant - Once established

This striking New Zealand native from the Poor Knights Islands is renowned for its dramatic architectural form. It produces fans of long, flax-like leaves that gracefully arch from a stout base, topped in summer by magnificent, bright red bottlebrush-like flower spikes. These showy blooms create a vivid splash of colour and attract native birds and insects alike.

Ideal as a feature plant in containers or garden beds, Xeronema callistemon thrives when slightly root-bound, making pots perfect for its cultivation. It prefers a well-drained sheltered spot and benefits from protection against frost as it is sensitive to cold.

A stunning, bold native that brings a unique tropical flair and a touch of the wild to any New Zealand garden.
