Ornamental deep green foliage completes the package.

Bring the display indoors by using these unique flowers to make a long lasting cut flower display.

'Candy Cones' boasts all the great features of many Australian natives being very hardy, drought tolerant, a low water user, frost hardy and easy to grow.

Isopogon 'Cany Cones' is fantastic for difficult sites such as coastal plantings, roadsides, parks and other public areas

Ideal for both native and exotic style gardens

Suitable for displays in larger containers

Great for informal hedging with a twist.

The large mauve-pink coneflowers last well as a cut flower.

CULTURAL CARE
This variety is hardy in most well drained, neutral to acid soils and requires an open sunny position. If grown in containers it is best to use a low phosphorus mix.

Plants should be pruned after flowering to remove old flower heads and to encourage new growth.

Feed in spring with a slow release fertiliser for natives.
