description_en: Genus of 4 species of evergreen shrubs or small trees occurring in drought-prone woodland in Australia. The alternate leaves are simple, leathery, and sometimes toothed or lobed. Telopea species are cultivated mainly for their paired, tubular flowers, 2-2.5cm (3/4-1in) long, which are split on the lower sides. Each flower has 4 short lobes, with the margins rolled under, and a prominent stigma. The flowers are surrounded by overlapping, coloured bracts and are produced in dense, terminal, umbel-like heads in spring or summer; they are followed by boat- shaped, woody seed pods. In frost-prone climates, grow in a cool greenhouse. In warmer areas, they are suitable for a shrub border.
hardiness_en: Half hardy to frost tender.
