Leucospermum 'Blanche Ito'
Blanche Ito Nodding Pincushion
Description
Blanche Ito Pincushion is relatively new to the trade and so far has proven adaptable to most soils and garden conditions. Tip pruning from a young age and deadheading after flowers keeps this plant tidy and produces more blooms the following year. The 3-4" wide flowers are well displayed at the end of the foliage and are perfect for floral designs.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.
Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
