Having a lot of luck with Waratah growth in the back \u00a0garden.\u00a0Telopea speciosissima<\/em><\/p>\n

The species version usually has more serrated edges to the leaves, and has a much slower and weaker growth than the F1 versions – but has much more satisfying and I think spectacular flowers. The sepals seem to be much more coloured and bigger and the flowers take a lot longer to pump up and bloom out.<\/p>\n

They do vary from year to year – but generally the species plants will have a single or maybe two blooms while the F1 will be covered in many various sized flowers.<\/p>\n

I have about 3 red species plants, and 2 large F1 plants growing and they all follow this pattern.<\/p>\n

The alternative coloured versions are very slow to grow and flower. I have 2 whites and 1 yellow.\u00a0They seem to follow the slow growth and intermittant flowering pattern of the white variety of the species.<\/p>\n

This is the Species one with a single bloom. The plant is about 15 years old now.<\/p>\n

This is the F1 with about 20 blooms on the one plant which is about 20 times bigger than the species plant above.\u00a0\u00a0The plant is about 12 years old .<\/p>\n
