Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Red Red Red' (Red Red Red NSW Christmas Bush)

Ceratopetalum gummiferum 'Red Red Red' (Red Red Red NSW Christmas Bush) is a spectacular Australian native cultivar selected for its exceptionally vibrant and long-lasting festive display. This improved form produces masses of brilliant, deep red calyces that develop after the small, creamy-white flowers fade, creating a stunning colour show that intensifies through the summer months and lasts well into autumn. The plant features attractive, serrated green foliage and has a bushy, upright growth habit that makes it ideal for both garden display and cut flowers.

Ideal as a feature plant, for screening, or for Christmas decorations, 'Red Red Red' thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and full sun to part shade. It benefits from annual pruning after the colour display finishes to maintain a compact shape and encourage prolific flowering the following season. This cultivar is particularly valued for its intense red coloration, reliable performance, and iconic Australian Christmas appeal.
