Barker Bush
- Scientific Name : Persoonia longifolia
- Availability : May-November
- Size : 70-80cm long
- Care : For maximum life and minimum wastage – keep our foliages in their packaging, in the box (if possible), in your coldroom or fridge. This slows the ageing process. They will store easily, and last up to 4 weeks this way. Remove the sleeves and cut the stems when you are ready to use them.
Appearance & Use
Long, slender, slightly curved green-grey native foliage with cherry-red stems. Ideal used as a filler in floral arrangements and mixed bouquets, or cascading in garlands and arbours.
Sometimes called snottygobble or geebung. For the shorter leaved version of Persoonia, see our Sapphire Bush
