Leucospermum

Leucospermum has unique, spiky flowers that resemble pincushions. Leucospermum plants produce vibrant blooms in shades of yellow, orange, red, and pink, often with contrasting stamens that give them a distinctive, fiery appearance. These shrubs typically grow between 3 to 10 feet tall, with leathery, dark green leaves complementing their bold flowers. Leucospermum plants thrive in well-drained, acidic soils and prefer full sun, making them ideal for Mediterranean climates or dry, coastal gardens. They are drought-tolerant once established, although they require regular watering during the growing season. Known for attracting birds and insects, particularly honeybirds, these plants are popular in native and water-wise gardens. With its dramatic floral display and unique texture, Leucospermum is a standout addition to any garden, though it does require care with soil drainage and protection from frost.
