Waratah 'Enchanted Dawn' 14cm

Telopea ‘Enchanted Dawn’ is a stunning, late-flowering hybrid Waratah known for its vibrant red springtime blooms. Bred from Telopea speciosissima and T. oreades, it combines cold tolerance with a bushy, upright form and rich dark green foliage. 'Enchanted Dawn' has an eye-catching floral display, its bright red flowers developing white tips with age, making it spectacular as a feature planting and for cut flower displays. Not just attractive to gardeners, it also brings native birds and insects to pollinate the garden, making for a must-have in native and wildlife-friendly gardens.

'Enchanted Dawn' thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and is well-suited to gardens in cooler regions, including Melbourne. Water well until established, and continue to water moderately, especially during dry spells and heatwaves. Be sure to use fertilisers designed for Australian natives, as they contain the specialty nutrients and support Waratah plants need.
