Isopogon latifolius – Candy Cane Isopogon

Candy Cane Isopogon

The candy cane Isopogon is Isopogon latifolius, a showy plant with brilliant pink to mauve flowers above deeper green foliage.

The flowers appear in masses from late winter – spring through to summer.

Reaching a height of around 1m in height with a similar spread, this is an excellent plant for the sunny garden border, rock garden or even grown in a container.

Useful for mass landscape and roadside plantings, or use it as a feature plant in the garden where its height and brilliant flowers will make it a standout when in full flower.

Isopogon latifolius Care

This is a hardy plant once established, drought and frost tolerant.

It does require a well drained soil and a sunny position to do well. Tolerant of coastal conditions, a versatile performer in the garden.

A little additional water through the first summer  may be required.

Isopogon latifolius can be pruned, however  it is best to prune lightly after flowering (deadhead) to maintain shape.

  • Full sun.
  • Well Drained soil.
  • Suited to growing in larger containers.
  • Drought and frost tolerant once established.

When container growing you need to ensure that you are using a specialist Australian Native plant potting mix. These are free draining and contain different fertiliser to othe potting mixes.
