The indigenous flowering pin cushion forms part of the Protea family, a species of endemic Fynbos, specific to the Cape Floristic Region.
In full bloom during this time of the year it is a majestic sight to behold, earning its right to being one of my all time top garden favorites and deserves pride of place in any garden.
From golden yellow to wine red and even a surreal metallic purple in the form of the L. tottum , these plants offer amazing diversity and exceptional performance in Hermanus landscaping and gardens.
Remember to add NO amendments to the planting hole apart from a good quality Protea potting soil and to water well for the first two to three weeks.
