Leucospermum
A remarkable exotic flower from faraway lands — an unusual bloom that looks almost like a flower, yet instead of petals, it is covered with elegantly curved hooks. This mysterious plant from South Africa has long found its place in our collection thanks to its striking texture and excellent vase life.
Leucospermum in Floristry
We love adding leucospermum to bouquets as an exquisite accent that surprises, intrigues, and inspires dreams of distant journeys.
In bouquets, leucospermum adds a touch of exotic charm and a tropical mood. At the same time, it pairs beautifully with other exotic flowers and foliage — such as banksia, protea, strelitzia, and eucalyptus — as well as with more familiar flowers like roses, lisianthus, and hydrangeas, creating softer and more elegant arrangements.
What Does Leucospermum Symbolise?
Originating from arid regions, leucospermum is associated with the energy of life, passion, and courage. Its presence in a bouquet can therefore be seen as a wish for strength and resilience, the ability to overcome difficulties, and confidence in oneself. In nature, its seeds germinate after wildfires, which has earned leucospermum a reputation as a talisman of good fortune and a symbol of renewal after hardship.
Leucospermum comes in a warm colour palette, ranging from yellow to red. Our collection also occasionally features dyed leucospermum in a deep inky shade, with the yellow tips of its curved hooks creating an eye-catching contrast against the dark background.
How to Care for Leucospermum
Caring for leucospermum is simple: change the water every other day and refresh the cuts on the stems each time. We also include a special flower food for cut flowers with our bouquets and recommend adding it to the water. A few drops of lemon juice or a few crystals of citric acid may also help extend the flowers' vase life.
