Description
Evergreen but short lived (8 - 15 years). It bears pollen rich, fluffy stamens of brilliant lemon yellow colour in June to August depending on latitude and exposure to cold winds. Foliage is bluey green with feathered leaf edges and it grows very fast and gangly. "Purpurea" has reddish purple new growth and young leaves, otherwise the same as the species.

Soil
Will adapt to any soil conditions.

Maintenance
Water well during first summer, prune after flowering to keep tidy, feed in autumn with blood and bone. Makes a bit of a mess with its spent blossom - but its worth it for the fabulous display of colour in mid winter.


Other Species In Genus
A. floribunda, A.howitii are both popular amongst many others.

Comments
