An upright, evergreen shrub grown for its long-lasting flower bracts, which open a warm, pure cream and soften to a pale pink blush as they age. Carries neat, bright green foliage on a tidy, erect habit, giving year-round structure even when not in flower. A versatile plant for mixed plantings, coastal gardens, pots, or as a low hedge. The flowering stems also cut and hold their colour well indoors.

Thrives in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site, and tolerates dry periods and coastal conditions once established. Water well through the first couple of seasons while it settles in. Tolerates light frost but avoid harsh, frost-prone spots. Lightly prune after flowering to keep a tidy shape and encourage fresh growth.
