Leucospermum Scarlet Ribbon is a compact, rounded, evergreen shrub with large, salmon-pink flower clusters. Orange stamens rise above a cushion of very showy, glossy, red ribbons from which this flower gains its name. The blooms are produced in such abundance that they cover the plant from late spring to mid-summer. Scarlet Ribbon will attract birds and bees to the garden, and its compact shape makes it ideal for low hedges and borders. It is an excellent cut flower.
Soil: Well-drained soil. If you have clay soils, use mounds to plant into 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. These plants are moderately frost, coast and drought-tolerant.
Size: Height 2m x width 1.5m
