Isopogon Little Drumsticks™

A small compact upright shrub (30 - 65cm x 45 - 80cm) with intricate lobed foliage. Multitudes of buds develop in summer, opening to golden mini 'protea' flowers in winter and spring, attractive to honeyeaters and insect-eating birds such as Scrub and Blue Wrens. Enjoys full sun or light shade, in either well drained clay loams or sandy soils, neutral to slightly acid pH. Hardy in climates ranging from sub-tropical to cool temperate. Will tolerate light frosts and suits coastal gardens very well.

Uses: Makes a showy display when grouped in small garden beds and rockeries, or mass plant in containers for dramatic effect on a patio or deck, or to decorate a sunny courtyard.

Maintenance: trim off spent flowers, and lightly prune foliage if needed. Feed in early spring or late summer with low phosphorus controlled release fertilizer. If planting in a container, use a good quality free-draining potting mix.  Do not over water.

Use as a spectacular accent plant in a terracotta pipe ... right by your front door.
