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.
