Corymbia Summer Red Grafted 140mm

Corymbia ficifolia ‘Summer Red’ – Grafted Flowering Gum (140mm Pot)

Corymbia ‘Summer Red’ is a spectacular grafted flowering gum producing masses of brilliant scarlet-red flowers across the canopy in summer. The intense colour display contrasts beautifully with glossy green foliage, creating a vibrant ornamental tree that attracts birds, bees and pollinators.

This cultivar is grafted onto a hardy rootstock, ensuring true flower colour and reliable flowering while greatly improving success in a wider range of soils, including heavier garden soils where seed-grown flowering gums often struggle. Grafting also provides stronger establishment and long-term performance.

Naturally forming a rounded small tree, Summer Red is ideal for feature planting, lawns, streetscapes and medium-sized gardens. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is drought tolerant once established.

Supplied in a 140mm pot, this grafted flowering gum is well established and ready to plant.
