Scarlet Gold-Tipped Kunzea

Easy to grow plants related to Callistemons, these shrubs reach up to 3m in height and produce large circular sprays of vivid red blooms followed by round fruits. Kunzea is well-suited to climates with warm dry summers and wet winters but must have free-draining soil and full sun. Easy to grow from seed and very distinctive.

We recommend the use of Wildflower Seed Starter Granules for improved germination rates and speed. These granules provide chemicals normally found in bushfire smoke that stimulate native seed germination.

When to plant: All year round except in hottest or coldest weather.
How to grow: Sow in warm areas anytime. In frost prone areas when danger of frost is over. Fill small pots with sandy soil and compress. Sow a few seeds in each pot – do not cover. Place pots in a shallow container, pour in enough water to submerge the lower third of the pot. Top up as required. Cover pots with clear polythene – remove when germination starts. Place in warm shady position to germinate fully.
