Leucospermums are pretty easy given a few things. Low nutrient soil, and excellent drainage. They prefer to be in sandy soils, on a raised mound, or large container. They don't like fertilizer, and do well with infrequent watering after they get established 1-2yrs. They need strong air circulation as they are from coastal zones, so stagnant areas aren't recommended. Most gardeners kill them from overwatering, or poor drainage. After establishment they are like our california native plants in that they wan't to be left alone to there own devices. Be adventurous and try a few varieties. Resendiz brothers near you grows a ton of them. Happy planting!

Cool! Thanks so much!

It sounds like they would do well in my area-the central coast of Ca. there is lots of sand. I need to find a nursery that has these. So beautiful.

Will they survive in Texas?
