Leucadendron

Leucadendron is a striking genus of evergreen shrubs and small trees native to South Africa, renowned for its vibrant, showy foliage and unique flowers. Often referred to as "cone bushes" due to their distinctive cone-like flower structures, Leucadendrons come in various colors, including red, yellow, and orange, adding a bold and dramatic touch to gardens and landscapes. Their leathery, often silvery or colorful leaves contrast beautifully with the fiery blooms surrounded by brightly colored bracts. These plants thrive in well-drained, acidic soil and require full sun to reach their full potential. Highly drought-tolerant once established, Leucadendrons are often used in xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens and cut flower arrangements, where their unique appearance adds texture and visual interest. Leucadendrons are a favorite among plant enthusiasts and landscape designers because of their resilience and stunning beauty.
