Burchellia bubalina (Wild Pomegranate)
Burchellia bubalina is a versatile evergreen shrub native to southern Africa that thrives in warmer parts of Australia, particularly in frost-free areas. It grows up to 2-4 meters tall and wide, making it a great choice for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant. Its eye-catching tubular, bright orange-red flowers bloom from spring to autumn, attracting birds, bees, and butterflies.
This plant prefers a sunny to partially shaded position with well-drained soil. It is moderately drought-tolerant once established and can handle occasional light frost. Burchellia bubalina is low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning and occasional watering in dry spells. Ideal for adding color and attracting wildlife to Australian gardens.
