Western Australian Christmas Tree

Western Australian Christmas Tree

Nuytsia floribunda

Description

Meet Nuytsia floribunda, a stunning Western Australian plant that bursts into bloom around Christmas time with bright yellow to orange flowers! This gorgeous shrub can grow up to 10m high, but it's not your average plant - it needs a host plant to thrive and get the nutrients it needs. Plus, it grows easily from seed - just be aware it won't survive long outside its natural area (unless you want to give it some TLC!).
