Leonotis leonurus, commonly known as Lion’s Ear, is a bold and dramatic perennial shrub admired for its striking orange tubular flowers arranged in tiered whorls along tall stems. Tough, fast-growing, and showy, it adds height, colour, and movement to any warm-climate garden.

✔ Heat & drought tolerant - Thrives in hot, dry conditions and poor soils.
✔ Fast-growing - Reaches maturity quickly, providing height and structure within a season.
✔ Long flowering period - Blooms from late summer through autumn, extending seasonal colour.
✅ Back-of-border height - Adds vertical interest to mixed perennial beds.
✅ Wildlife and pollinator gardens - Excellent for attracting beneficial insects and birds.
✅ Drought-tolerant landscapes - Perfect for low-water, Mediterranean, and native-inspired gardens.
✅ Feature planting - Tall stems and vivid flowers make a striking focal point.
Spacing: Plant 70cm to 1 metre apart when using in mixed beds, or add more plants for a denser mass of colour.
