Sale price$300.00

Corymbia ficifolia 'Wild Sunset' looks excellent as a feature tree or striking garden centerpiece, thanks to its bold fiery blooms and glossy lance-shaped evergreen foliage. This upright, spreading flowering gum delivers vibrant color from summer to autumn, creating a gorgeous focal point in any landscape.

Its moderate size makes it suitable for both urban gardens and coastal settings, where it tolerates drought and light frost with ease. ‘Wild Sunset’ requires low to moderate maintenance and benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its form. For added impact, it pairs well with low-growing native groundcovers or grasses to enhance its vibrant floral display.
