This distinctive gum tree has beautiful flowers and decorative fuchsia-like gum nuts that are harvested and used in floral arrangements. It will grow from 3–7 m high by 3–5 m wide as a large shrub or small tree depending on the local growing conditions. It is an ideal specimen for home gardens and attracts native birds. This species is also frost and drought tolerant and will grow on limestone soils.
