Pin Cushion 'Carnival Coast' is a spectacular coastal fynbos that puts on a stunning color show with bright orange flowers that gradually turn a lovely pink as they mature. This hardy Leucospermum patersonii is specifically bred for coastal conditions, making it perfect for seaside gardens where it thrives in salt spray and strong winds while attracting birds and creating vibrant displays.
Plant in full sun with well-draining, sandy soil and water regularly for the first year until established, then drought-tolerant. Excellent for coastal hedging, mixed borders, or as a specimen plant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage more blooms.
