Carnival Sunrise is a dense-growing Leucospermum. It has soft mid-green foliage and produces stunning masses of showy lemon to orange pincushion flowers during spring. The extended bracts fade from burning pinks and reds through to a golden centre. The Protea family are equally at home in display pots or garden beds, as a feature plant, mass planting or borders/hedges and are low maintenance. Be sure to use a native soil mix when planting. Exotic potting mix or exotic fertiliser will kill them.
