Description,
Notes
|
Protea (Proteaceae) Family shrub
native to South Africa; new cultivar that puts out stems
that are even longer and straighter than its close relative
Leucospermum ‘Tango’!! Warm orange blooms are perfect
for that long lasting and electrifying cut flower display;
attracts hummingbirds; drought and deer resistant; prefers
well-drained soils and deep infrequent watering once established;
can be used as a water-wise patio plant; nice on banks/slopes;
great in the wind; low Phosphorus fertilizer or none at
all
