Discover the captivating beauty of Clianthus puniceus 'Rosea', commonly known as Pink Kaka Beak or Pink Parrot Beak. This extraordinary evergreen shrub from New Zealand is a perennial delight, offering a stunning display of exotic, rose-red to pink blooms. The distinctive 3-inch, parrot-beak-shaped flowers hang in pendulous clusters, embellishing gardens from spring to early summer. Growing between 4 to 6 feet tall and wide, this lush plant thrives in rich, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, though it appreciates protection from late afternoon heat. Hardy to 20°F, it's perfect for zones where frost and strong winds are minimal. Pink Kaka Beak features striking dark green, pinnate foliage and versatile climbing stems, reaching up to 12 ft when supported. Although it's rare in the wild (considered endangered), this beautiful shrub can be trained into a tree form or espaliered, making it an eye-catching centerpiece for patios and gardens. Regular watering and post-bloom pruning enhance its flourishing growth and mesmerizing appearance.
