Corymbia ficifolia ‘Orange Sunset’ – Grafted Flowering Gum (140mm Pot)
Corymbia ficifolia ‘Orange Sunset’ is a spectacular grafted flowering gum renowned for its glowing sunset-orange flowers that cover the canopy in summer. The vivid blooms create a brilliant display against deep green foliage, making it a standout ornamental tree that attracts birds, bees and pollinators.
This plant is grafted onto a hardy rootstock, ensuring reliable flowering colour and greatly improving performance in a wider range of soils, including heavier garden soils where seed-grown flowering gums often fail. Grafting also provides stronger establishment and long-term reliability.
Naturally forming a small to medium ornamental tree, Orange Sunset is ideal for feature planting, lawns, streetscapes and larger gardens. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and becomes drought tolerant once established.
Supplied in a 140mm pot, this grafted flowering gum is well established and ready to plant.
