Leucospermum So Successful is a medium, evergreen shrub with small, coarse, foliage coloured a lovely mid-green. In spring, a mass profusion of large bright orange pin-cushion flowers appear to delight the senses. The flowers are popular in floral arrangements as they hold their colour for long periods. The blooms are popular with birds and bees. The Protea family are low maintenance and are equally at home in display pots or garden beds, as a feature plant, mass planting, or borders/hedges. Be sure to use a native soil mix when planting as exotic potting mix/fertiliser will kill them.
