Isopogon latifolius is an erect shrub up to 3 m tall from the Protea family, endemic to south-west Western Australia, prized for its showy pink flower heads. It needs good drainage and low humidity to thrive, and will die readily in wet or humid conditions.
Isopogon latifolius is a shrub of the family Proteaceae that is endemic to the southwest botanical province of Western Australia.
The showiest of the isopogons, I. latifolius can be grown in regions with low humidity and in positions with good drainage, but will die readily if these conditions cannot be met. It has been grafted successfully onto Isopogon anethifolius. I. latifolius is used in the cut flower industry.
Isopogon latifolius is found from Albany and the Stirling Range eastwards to the vicinity of Cheyne Bay. It grows on hilltops and stony outcrops and slopes, in association with sandstone, quartzite and schist. It grows in heath, scrub, or low woodland.
