Chorizema varium Paxton Fire Sticks

Chorizema Fire Sticks brings a hit of bold colour to the cooler months, covering itself in bright orange and hot-pink pea flowers from mid-winter right through to early summer. Its compact, rounded shape and deep green, slightly spiked foliage make it a standout in native and low-maintenance gardens, and it’s wonderfully easy to grow. Once established, it asks for very little water, and a light prune—up to half—after flowering keeps it neat and blooming beautifully the following season. This vibrant variety suits just about anywhere: native borders, habitat gardens, cottage-style plantings, or brightening up pots and containers. A tough little shrub with seriously eye-catching colour.
