Climate resilience is… this Australian native plant. Its’ delicacy and ability to survive harsh conditions is a lesson for us all showing how we night need to take a ‘leaf’ out of its’ book when it comes to climate adaptation. It readily self-seeds in gravel and rocky soil as mature plants die back. Although the flower is small, the leaves are a real show – turning from vivid green to many colours including crimson. Adaptation in nature in action.
