火輪樹

I was a bit worried it wouldn't survive in my cooler backyard, but the leaves have held up well through two frosts and it's already putting out new growth.

The vivid red flowers started showing just six weeks after planting, and the leaves have a lovely glossy sheen. It’s already a couple feet tall in my backyard here in Sydney.

Planted mine three months ago and it's already shot up past waist height, even though we're in a cooler southern zone. The leaves have that lovely dark green rainforest look I was hoping for.
