health-like shrub, with sprays of slender, tubular red flowers with white tips. needs well drained slightly acid sandy soil and resents root disturbance.
temperate and cold climates.
read it from mumsy's book collection, yates garden guide to be exact.

Thanks guys!AusBonsai wrote:From The Friends of Lane Cove River Park...
Epacris longiflora
Native fuchsia
Family: Epacridaceae
This showy epacris can be found in quite shady places. It can grow to 1.5. high, but is often straggly, with branches laden with rows of flowers bowing down towards the ground. It is commonly found on rocky ground on Sydney sandstone.
The tough, prickly, heart-shaped leaves are 5-12mm long, with parallel veins.
The pink/red and white tubular flowars are 12-20 mm long, growing pendulously from the leaf axils. Main flowering time is Winter-Spring, but spot flowering may occur at any time of the year.
Seems i was not specific enough:( I have several native fuschias around the garden, i meant id like to see one as a bonsai. Anybody here heard of it as a bonsai? Or tried themselves?
