Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Need some fantastic foliage for the garden? This SUPER-RARE Leucadendron linifolium has silvery-green leaves on many erect branches. Our plants are soft & furry right now (so fun to pet!) but they become stiffer & smoother as they mature. The branches make great cut foliage material for flower arrangements & the Spring blooming, silver cone-like flower heads at the end of the branches are attractive, too. Growing to 4’ tall & wide. Make sure & plant in well-drained soil with good air circulation. Slightly acidic soil is best.
