Pincushion 'California Sunshine'
Leucospermum ‘California Sunshine’ (Pincushion) is an attractive, rounded, evergreen shrub with brilliant, soft orange flower heads. Resembling pincushions, they are produced profusely over spring and early midsummer atop long stems. Borne at the tips of horizontal or arching stems, they are rich in nectar and attract birds and bees, thus assisting in the pollination of the flowers. The medium green leaves are stalkless, leathery, and spirally arranged. Perfect as a focal point in the landscape or in decorative containers. The flowers are long-lasting and great for cutting. They make a unique, exotic addition to flower arrangements.
