Its vibrant flowers and lush green foliage make it a stunning focal point in gardens, landscapes, and large containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow and low-maintenance, this hardy Waratah thrives in a range of conditions. With long-lasting, deep red flowers, ‘Shady Lady Red’ is also perfect for cut flower arrangements, adding dramatic beauty to any setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTelopea, commonly known as Waratah, are stunning Australian natives prized for their dramatic, bold blooms and strong architectural presence. Their vibrant flowers attract birds and bring a striking focal point to the garden, particularly in cooler climates where they thrive in full sun, though they do best in semi-shade. With a naturally upright growth habit, Waratahs also make excellent large hedges or windbreaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaratahs are generally frost tolerant, but a late frost can damage their flowers, so choose a sheltered planting spot where possible. Unlike many Proteaceae, they will tolerate soil rich in organic matter, provided it is well drained, as they will not tolerate waterlogging. They require regular watering during dry periods and perform best with consistent moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf growing in pots, use an Australian native potting mix and fertilise only with an Australian native plant fertiliser to keep them healthy. Lightly prune after flowering, or remove spent blooms to maintain shape. Apply surface mulch and light dressings of blood \u0026amp; bone each spring, and use a native slow-release fertiliser for ongoing nourishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith their iconic flowers, resilient nature and strong form, Telopea (Waratah) are a premium choice for gardeners seeking a dramatic native feature with lasting seasonal impact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828342481080,"sku":"P10TELSLR","price":24.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/telopea-shady-lady-p10telslr-waratah-red-pplproslr.jpg?v=1785388300","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/telopea-shady-lady-red","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
