As the name suggests, it peaks in the cooler months when few other plants are in full colour, making it invaluable for year-round garden interest. Hardy, drought-tolerant and naturally compact, it suits low borders, rockeries and native garden edges in SA's temperate climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3–0.5 m H x 1.0–1.5 m W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; 15–25 cm per year; low-spreading with a dense, prostrate to mounding habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small, linear, soft-textured leaves with woolly grey-green surface; attractive year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bicolour red and cream spider-type flowers; dense display from winter through spring; non-fragrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peak flowering winter–spring; attractive woolly foliage year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent bird-attractant — honeyeaters forage through flower clusters; provides low shelter for small fauna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought-tolerant once established; frost hardy (handles to −5°C); heat-tolerant; wind-tolerant; clay-tolerant if well-drained; suitable for exposed sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low border\/groundcover: 80 cm–1 m apart; rockery: 1–1.2 m apart; mass: 80 cm centres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e May cause contact dermatitis and mild digestive upset if ingested; discourage chewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade; flowers best and most compactly in full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained loam, sandy loam or gravelly soils; tolerates slightly alkaline; avoid phosphorus-rich fertilisers and waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks\/week for 8–12 weeks.
