Isopogon dubius
Also called Pincushion Coneflower
Isopogon dubius, commonly known as pincushion coneflower, is a species of plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with sharply-pointed, deeply lobed or pinnate leaves and more or less spherical heads of pink to reddish pink flowers.
Isopogon dubius was first cultivated in Europe in the 1800s. It prefers dry summers and excellent drainage and will tolerate moderate frosts. Full sun is required for the best flower display, although the plant can be grown in partial shade.
Isopogon dubius grows in woodland and heath, mainly on the Darling Range from near Wongan Hills to Narrogin in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain in the south-west of Western Australia.
