Description

Calothamnus gibbosus is an erect, spreading shrub growing to a height of about 1.5 mwith thick, corky bark. The flowers initially appear as warty growths on the branches. When they open, the flower cup is buried in the corky bark with only the red petals and stamens extending beyond it. Flowering occurs from May to December. It prefers full sun and grows in most well drained soils and is drought and frost tolerant.
