Pin Cushion Protea

Leucospermum Red Sunset, commonly known as the Pin Cushion Protea, is grown for its stunning flowers. The waxy, yellow flowers with red tips are produced from winter through spring. The flowers are great for attracting birds and are often used in floral arrangements. The foliage comprises small, mid-green leaves and provides a lovely backdrop to the flowers as it grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide. This Pin Cushion Protea is commonly included in mixed plantings, grown in a container, or planted in the drier areas of the garden. A mass planting on a bank will provide a highly rewarding display.
