The buds on short stems are suggestive of Little Drumsticks™ and this compact, versatile plant is something to ‘beat the drum about’. Whether in the ground tucked amongst bold rock work or in an ornate container on a deck or in a courtyard, Little Drumsticks™ will be a decorative addition to all garden styles. Buds which develop across summer open as bright golden mini-Protea flowers, held above the intricate foliage throughout winter and spring, to the delight of small honeyeaters and scrub wrens. Little Drumsticks™ is as hardy as it is ornamental, doing well in climates ranging from cool temperate to sub tropical and semi arid, in moist well drained clay or sandy loams of a neutral to low acid pH. Not troubled by inland frosts nor exposed coastal locations.
