It brings year-round structure and vibrant seasonal colour to the garden, making it an excellent choice for native landscapes, informal hedging, or feature planting. Its lush green foliage provides a fresh backdrop that enhances its long flowering display, attracting pollinators and adding life to outdoor spaces.
