Clianthus maximus 'Kaka King' is an evergreen shrub that has hanging clusters of vibrant red flowers throughout spring and summer, bringing the birds. It thrives in shelter, and both full sun and partial shade. Clianthus maximus 'Kaka King' can withstand light to moderate frosts, and occasional dry spells. It has a more upright form than the parent Clianthus maximus. Clianthus maximus is native to the North Island of New Zealand. Clianthus maximus 'Kaka King' was discovered on the East Coast after Cyclone Bola.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
