Royal Mantle is a low-growing, prostrate, evergreen shrub that is a fabulous ground cover and spills attractively over low walls. Fantastic for banks and in large landscaping areas, as it is very quick-growing and quite hardy. The deep red flowers can be seen in late winter and spring in toothbrush-type clusters at the end of the short branchlets. The leaves vary in shape - some are lobed and others have smooth margins. Royal Mantle grows in most areas of Australia except for the tropics.
