Isopogon formosus
Also called Rose Cone Flower
Isopogon formosus, commonly known as rose coneflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with divided leaves with cylindrical segments, and spherical to oval heads of pink or red flowers.
Isopogon formosus requires excellent drainage and full sun. It will not tolerate long periods of dryness or heavy frost.
Rose coneflower grows in a range of soils in swampy places, rocky outcrops and on sandplains mainly between Bunbury and Esperance in the Esperance Plains and Jarrah Forest biogeographic regions. Subspecies dasylepis occurs between Busselton, Noggerup and the Scott River and subsp. formosus in near-coastal areas between Walpole and Hopetoun and from Dalyup to Cape Arid National Park.
