In the North Island of New Zealand where it is found, the leaves of this small shrub which grows to two metres, are quite variable in size, and the distinctive mainly orange trumpet shaped flowers vary in colour from dark crimson through orange to yellow. It flowers all year round especially from October to February, and grows best in semi shade, damp, well drained areas. Semi hardwood cuttings produce variable success, while fresh seed generally germinates easily.
