Planting and Care

Once you've found your dream Leucospermum, it's time to get it in the ground. These plants thrive in well-draining, slightly acidic soil, so be sure to amend your planting area accordingly. When it comes to placement, choose a spot that gets plenty of sun – at least six hours per day.

Proper watering is crucial for Leucospermum. These plants are drought-tolerant, but they'll reward you with their best blooms if you give them a deep soak every week or two. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and other issues.

Pruning is also an important part of Leucospermum care. After the flowers have faded, give your plant a light trim to encourage new growth and maintain its shape. With a little diligence, you can keep your pincushion looking its best for years to come.

Enjoying the Bounty

The real payoff, of course, comes when your Leucospermum bursts into bloom. These captivating flowers are sure to turn heads, with their unique, spiky petals and vibrant hues. Whether you cut them for bouquets or simply admire them in the garden, they're a true delight for the senses.
