Why It’s a Great Idea to Plant in Winter
Leucospermum ‘So Sincere’ is a compact and hardy Proteaceae shrub that delivers a stunning floral display and year-round foliage interest. Its unique pincushion flowers, in rich orange-gold tones, create an eye-catching feature from late winter through spring. Perfect for small gardens, pots, and coastal landscapes, this variety combines striking appearance with low maintenance requirements.
Flowers:
Round, pincushion-style blooms in vivid orange to gold tones appear in abundance from late winter into spring. Flowers are nectar-rich, attracting birds, bees, and butterflies, and have excellent longevity when cut for arrangements.
Foliage:
Evergreen grey-green foliage with a clean, tidy appearance. The leathery leaves provide a perfect contrast to the bright blooms.
Fruit:
Woody seed capsules form after flowering, typical of the Proteaceae family.
Form and Size:
Neat, compact shrub growing approximately 1–1.2m high x 1–1.2m wide, with a rounded habit.
Growing Conditions:
Thrives in full sun in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Tolerates coastal conditions and light frost. Drought tolerant once established. Avoid heavy clay or poorly drained soils.
Uses:
Ideal as a feature shrub, in mixed native gardens, or for container planting. Excellent choice for cut flower gardens due to its long-lasting blooms.
Maintenance:
Low maintenance. Light prune after flowering to encourage dense growth and prolonged flowering. Feed with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser in spring.
Notes:
Part of the ‘So’ series bred for compact form, vibrant colour, and prolific flowering in Australian conditions.
Companion Plants:
Pairs well with other Proteaceae such as Grevillea, Leucadendron, and Banksia, as well as drought-tolerant grasses and succulents.
