Clianthus puniceus Alba, commonly known as White Heron or white kaka beak, is a rare and striking variety of Clianthus, known for its cascading clusters of white, beak-shaped flowers. This ornamental plant has a somewhat sprawling habit with long, slender branches and small, green, pinnate leaves that create a delicate backdrop for the flowers.
In the garden it is suitable for trellises, walls, or as a standout feature in a mixed border. Its unique flowers and elegant form make it an excellent choice for gardens designed to attract wildlife, as its flowers are a magnet for nectar-feeding birds and insects.
Clianthus puniceus Alba prefers a sunny to partially shaded position and well-drained soil. It is somewhat frost-sensitive and benefits from protection in colder climates. Regular watering during dry periods will help maintain its lush appearance and support flowering. For optimal growth and display, it should be planted where it can receive ample sunlight and has space to spread. Also benefits from a regular trim to shape as desired.
Reaches 2m x 2m, depending on the growing conditions and support provided.
