Telopea ‘Digger’ is a moderately vigorous variety of the iconic Australian Waratah, prized for its brilliant salmon-pink blooms that appear from late winter through spring. The bold, well-formed flowers are beautifully offset by vibrant green, narrow foliage and are highly attractive to native birds. With its naturally slender growth habit, Digger is an excellent choice for containers, hedging, or as a striking feature plant in gardens and native-friendly landscapes. The flowers are especially popular for cut flower use, valued for their straight, long stems and the uniformity of their flower heads. Like all cultivated waratahs, Digger benefits from heavy pruning once established. Cutting plants back after flowering helps maintain shape, encourages strong new growth, and promotes prolific flowering in future seasons. Soil: For garden beds, it grows best in acidic soil with good drainage. Apply an added layer of mulch to assist moisture retention during dry periods.Conditions: Full sun to part shade.
