Clianthus puniceus "Parrots Bill"

Bursting into a mass of bloom in mid-Summer, this exotic shrub from New Zealand puts on a magnificent show. Now extinct in the wild, it produces dense masses of bright pink and red showy flowers-up to 15 in a bunch, suspended from arching branches. A spreading, fast-growing shrub 3'-12' tall with fern like foliage, it tolerates a wide range of soils and withstands frost to 13F. Can be espaliered.
