Pink Beard Heath
Description
Leucopogon ericoides is a wiry, fine-foliaged shrub native to eastern and southeastern Australia. Featuring soft pink, tubular flowers with distinctive bearded tips. Flowering from winter to spring, the flowers cluster along the stems and attract pollinators to the garden. The narrow, heath-like foliage gives a delicate, textural effect year-round. Prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soils and is tolerant of dry conditions and light frost once established. Ideal for native gardens or rockeries where soft colour and fine texture are desired.
