Leucospermum Hennys Torch Details

Leucospermum Hennys Torch, commonly known as the Yellow Pincushion Protea, is grown for its stunning and vibrant flowers. The showy, yellow and red flowers are produced during spring, and truly are impressive. They are great for attracting birds and are often used in floral arrangements. The foliage comprises mid-green leaves and provides a lovely backdrop to the blooms. It typically grows to 2 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of cool climates, moderate frost once established, and extended dry periods. The Yellow Pincushion Protea is commonly included in mixed plantings, maintained in a container, used in pool gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or used in the drier areas of the garden. A mass planting on a bank or the like will provide an amazing display and it is a great plant for brightening a dull area or softening a bland wall.
