A true Australian icon, Ceratopetalum ‘Albery’s Red’ puts on a spectacular show just in time for the festive season. What begins as small, creamy white flowers transforms into a breathtaking display of rich pink to deep red sepals, creating that unmistakable “Christmas” colour across the plant. Light, airy foliage and a naturally graceful form make it just as appealing as a feature tree, screen, or large shrub. It brings a soft, natural feel to the garden while still delivering a bold seasonal statement.
Perfect for coastal and temperate gardens, it thrives in well-drained soil and appreciates a sunny to lightly shaded position. Once established, it’s relatively hardy and can handle dry conditions, making it a practical as well as beautiful choice.
Tip: Avoid heavy pruning. If needed, lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape—cutting back too hard can reduce next season’s colour display.
