Thanks for the info chookie.
I live at St Marys. For the first summer, Try to water it everyday.
(Will help it to establish). Some dynamic lifter will also help.
Then leave it to mother nature. perhaps some water durring long dry
periods.
mine is flowering like mad at the moment. beautiful. I get asked by
so many
people what is the name of that pretty plant.

Cheers,
Mitchell


I'm still waiting for my Summer Beauty to flower -- big buds, no flowers
out
yet. Mine was planted in September, a week ahead of water restrictions,
and
is existing on natural rainlack.

What tree would be a good complement?

I have surrounded mine with shrubs that won't overtop it, with contrasting
foliage and complementary flowers (for those that flower in summer). With
the
red, you could try Callistemon 'Little John' or perhaps a summer-flowering
wattle to pick up the yellow centres.
