Leucospermum reflexum var. luteum
Yellow Rocket Pincushion
Description
Yellow Rocket Pincushion is an attractive shrub that can reach 6-8' tall and 5-6' wide. The plant has a rounded habit with evergreen, gray green leaves held closely to the stems. Beautiful and unusual looking, pincushion looking flowers appear in late spring and bloom through summer. These yellow flowers droop during the bloom period. Flowers attract birds and bees. Great for flower arrangements. Plant in full sun in coastal gardens as it tolerates salt winds. It does well in sandy or loam soil that is neutral or acid in pH. This shrub does best with well draining soil. Established plants are drought tolerant, needing very little water in winter. A beautiful shrub for Mediterranean style gardens also.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.
If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
