Plant Summary

Melianthus comosus, commonly known as crown honey flower, is a low-maintenance shrub ideal for waterwise gardens. Pruning encourages new growth, making it suitable for informal borders or pondside accents. With grey-green leaves emitting a distinct odor when touched, it attracts birds and butterflies with its nectar-rich, red flowers. It holds traditional value as a remedy for wounds, backaches, and snakebites. Easily propagated from large black seeds, it thrives in well-drained soil.
