Clianthus puniceus Rosea
Rose Kaka Beak
Clianthus puniceus Rosea is a NZ native shrub that produces stunning, beak like flowers through spring. The masses of large and showy, rose-coloured flowers literally transform the plant. The fine, mid-green foliage provides a lovely backdrop to the flowers as it grows to 2 m tall and the same wide. Clianthus puniceus Rosea is commonly included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, grown to soften a bland wall, planted around outdoor living areas, maintained in a container, or mass planted for an impressive display.
