Leucospermum 'Sunrise': Sunrise Flower Cluster Pincushion
🌅 Leucospermum 'Sunrise': The Compact Orange-Red Pincushion The Leucospermum ‘Sunrise’ is a beautiful and compact Pincushion Protea hybrid (Leucospermum genus) highly valued for its striking, low-growing habit and its spectacular output of bi-colored flowers. This vigorous evergreen shrub is an exceptional groundcover or foreground specimen, producing abundant, large, globe-shaped blooms with a unique color combination: bright orange styles erupting from a yellow base. ‘Sunrise’ is an excellent, medium-to-low specimen plant ideal for creating dense coverage and a brilliant color splash in Mediterranean, coastal, and xeriscape gardens. Its strong, mounding habit, superior drought tolerance, and profuse cool-season flowering make it a highly desirable and relatively low-maintenance choice, yielding superb, long-lasting cut flowers and attracting nectar-feeding birds.
