Why It’s a Great Idea to Plant in Winter
Leucospermum ‘So Successful’ is a show-stopping, long-flowering shrub that brings brilliant colour and texture to the garden. Known for its abundant, large pincushion blooms in vivid orange-red tones, this hardy Proteaceae variety is perfect for feature planting, native landscapes, and cut flower production. Its strong form, vibrant flowers, and easy-care nature make it a garden standout.
Flowers:
Spectacular pincushion-style blooms in rich orange-red shades appear from late winter through spring, often extending into early summer. Nectar-rich and long-lasting, the flowers attract honeyeaters, bees, and butterflies.
Foliage:
Evergreen grey-green foliage with a tidy, upright growth habit. The leathery leaves provide a perfect backdrop to the bright blooms.
Fruit:
Woody seed capsules form after flowering, typical of Proteaceae plants.
Form and Size:
Upright, rounded shrub growing approximately 1.5–2m high x 1.5–2m wide.
Growing Conditions:
Thrives in full sun in well-drained, slightly acidic soils. Tolerates light frost and coastal conditions. Drought tolerant once established. Avoid planting in heavy clay or poorly drained soils.
Uses:
Perfect as a feature shrub, in mixed native garden beds, or mass planted for bold impact. Popular for cut flowers due to its striking blooms and long vase life.
Maintenance:
Low maintenance. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. Feed with a low-phosphorus native fertiliser in spring.
Notes:
Part of the ‘So’ series bred for vibrant colour, strong form, and prolific flowering. An ideal choice for gardens needing a bold focal point.
Companion Plants:
Pairs beautifully with other Proteaceae species such as Leucadendron, Grevillea, and Banksia, as well as ornamental grasses and succulents.
