Ozothamnus Diosmifolius ‘Red Gingham’ is a striking Australian native shrub admired for its dense, fine foliage and masses of richly coloured flower clusters. The deep pink to red buds open into soft, textured blooms that create a vibrant, long-lasting display throughout the cooler months. Its naturally upright and bushy growth habit adds structure and softness to garden beds, native landscapes, and feature plantings, while also performing beautifully in floral arrangements.
Highly valued for its resilience and low-maintenance nature, ‘Red Gingham’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for waterwise and low-care gardens. Once established, it is drought tolerant and attracts beneficial pollinators, adding ecological value to its ornamental appeal. Ideal for mass planting, mixed borders, or cut flower production, this variety delivers consistent colour, texture, and reliability with minimal upkeep required.
