Description
Leucospermum cordifolium, particularly the orange variety, is a striking shrub native to South Africa. Known for its distinctive, pincushion-like flower heads, it offers a vibrant splash of color to any landscape. These blooms are composed of numerous slender, thread-like styles that radiate outwards, resembling a pincushion. Leucospermum plants thrive in well-drained, sandy, and acidic soil, perfect for coastal gardens. The flowers are a magnet for birds, bees, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife gardens. These plants are also relatively drought-tolerant once established. For optimal growth, ensure good air circulation around the plant and protect it from heavy frosts.
