Clianthus puniceus, commonly known as Kakabeak, is a NZ native shrub that produces masses of beak-like flowers during spring and summer. The showy, bright red flowers literally transform the plant during this time. The mid-green foliage provides a lovely backdrop to the flowers as it grows to 2 m tall and the same wide. Clianthus puniceus is commonly included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, grown to mask a bland wall, planted around outdoor living areas, maintained in a container, or mass planted for an impressive display.

Selecting the correct native plant fertiliser is essential as they often tend to be slow growing and so require a tailored nutrient plan to meet their needs without overdoing it and potentially injuring the plant. The Plant Company’s Native Plant Fertiliser has been specifically blended to give 12-months of continuous nutrition and give plants an initial boost with all right nutrients. This fertiliser is applied at half a handful (half a cup) spread evenly around each plant (ideally in early spring), just once per year. This fertiliser blend is suitable for all types of natives that are planted outdoors and should not be used for natives that are grown in a container. Use The Plant Company’s Indoor Plant Fertiliser for natives that are growing in a container.
