HIGH GOLD

Leucospermum ‘High Gold’ PP10,644 (Golden Nodding pincushion) – This is an attractive upright mounding shrub up to 5 feet tall with a 6 foot spread. It produces gray-green leaves and yellow, distinctively dome-shaped flowers, that are 4 inches wide on long stems that last for a prolonged period in mid spring on the plant and in the vase. It does best in the full sun in a well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established but is not cold hardy much below 30 F. This variety is considered to be an improvement on Leucospermum cordifolium ‘Yellow Bird’, which is one parent with Leucospermum patersonii as the pollen parent.
