Leucospermum 'goldie': A Goden Gem, A Sunlit Star Pincushion
🧡 Leucospermum 'Goldie': The Spreading Golden Pincushion The Leucospermum 'Goldie' is a popular and ornamental Pincushion Protea hybrid (Leucospermum genus) highly valued for its distinctive spreading, horizontal growth habit and its gorgeous, warm flowers. This handsome evergreen shrub functions beautifully as a flowering groundcover or feature plant for banks and slopes. It produces abundant, medium-sized, cushion-shaped blooms with pin-like styles in a striking shade of apricot-orange to deep golden-yellow, creating a dense, colorful carpet. 'Goldie' is an excellent, low-growing specimen plant for creating contrast and intense color in Mediterranean, coastal, and xeriscape gardens. Its broad, trailing form, superior drought tolerance, and profuse flowering make it a resilient and low-maintenance choice, providing superb soil coverage and attracting nectar-feeding birds.
