Red Phantom is an attractive, dense Leucospermum. It has soft blue-green foliage and produces stunning masses of fire engine red pincushion flowers throughout spring. Red Phantom holds its colour for several weeks before the bright red turns to dark reddened ash. Its large upright stems make it incredibly attractive for cut flowers, although it is equally as alluring in the garden. Ideal for screens and hedges as well as containers and mass planting.
Soil: Well-drained soil. If you have clay soils, use mounds to facilitate drainage. Be sure to use a native soil mix when planting - exotic potting mix or exotic fertiliser will kill them.
Conditions: Full sun. Moderately frost, coast and drought tolerant.
Size: Height 2.5 x width 2m
