Description

This attractive hybrid between G. banksii and G. pinnatifida, forms a low spreading bush, however unless pruned it can become straggly. The dissected leaves have pungent tips. The red flowers borne in loose racemes are visited by numerous birds. Flowering occurs throughout the year. Care should be taken in handling this plant as it may result in skin irritations in those susceptible particularly those with a sensitivity to poison ivy.
