A coastal native shrub with an incredibly variable habit from 0.5 to 6 m high. It benefits from tip pruning and shaping when young. The bright, pale yellow bird-attracting flowers occur in cylindrical spikes to 10 cm from spring to autumn. Will tolerate frost, coastal and drought conditions. This quick growing plant is also a potential windbreak and fire retardant. Also available in dwarf forms. Look for 'Mini Marg' and others at your local garden centre.
