Corymbia Ficifolia Calypso Queen

Corymbia ficifolia ‘Calypso Queen’ is a stunning grafted flowering gum prized for its vivid coral-pink to reddish blooms appearing in summer. It attracts nectar-feeding birds, making it a lively focal point in Australian gardens. The foliage is deep green and glossy, forming a dense, rounded crown.

It grows best in full sun with well-drained soil and moderate water. Ideal for gardens in coastal and temperate climates, particularly in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth. Grafted varieties like ‘Calypso Queen’ are more adaptable and can be grown successfully in a wider range of Australian conditions than seed-grown types.

This small to medium-sized tree reaches approximately 4–6 metres high and 3–4 metres wide, making it perfect for feature planting, nature strips, or large pots. Regular pruning when young helps shape a strong framework. Mulch well and feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring.

Great companion plants include Lomandra Tanika, Westringia fruticosa, and Grevillea ‘Peaches and Cream’, which all share similar drought tolerance and offer year-round visual interest.
