Ceratopetalum gummiferum Shiraz - New South Wales Christmas Bush -adds native Aussie spirit to your Christmas decor. Abundant tiny white flowers set in starry, deep crimson-red bracts are massed in clusters from late October through January, just in time for our Aussie Christmas celebrations. Added to its appeal, is the shiny green foliage that contrasts beautifully against the red and white. The NSW Christmas Bush is picture-perfect in floral arrangements and containers, Christmas decorations and wreaths. New South Wales Christmas bush loves a light prune in January or February or as soon as the display of red bracts has finished. Don’t be afraid to cut large sprays for an amazing indoor display. For dense flowering wood next season, prune flowering new wood only.
