Mimetes Crackerjack Silver Mirror Bush is a rare and critically endangered plant originating in the misty heights of Kogelberg Mountain in South Africa. Its stunning velvety silver leaves make it a wonderful feature plant year round. And its vibrant red flowers in summer provide a valuable nectar source for beneficial insects and birds. It is a standout in a pot or in the garden.

This wonderful plant is slow to grow and reaches approximately 1m x 1m at maturity. It loves a sunny or full sun position and a well drained soil. It requires a regular water to establish, but once established has a low water requirement. It is tolerant of frost and coastal conditions.

Proteas are sensitive to Phosphorous in fertiliser. For best results we recommend using Garden Delight Rock Minerals at planting and in place of a fertiliser.
