Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An argument could be made that the most stunning Leucadendrons are boys… but this nurseryman knows who 68% of his target demographic are so you won’t see it made here. This is a fast growing shrub that ticks all the boxes. Stunning new growth in the Spring and lush foliage year-round. The big show happens in late winter to spring when the bracts (the leaf looking things surrounding the cone) color up from a lime green to a pinkish-red. Excellent cut flower or left alone to do its thing, this plant is a winner.
Red-tipped leaves, reddish stems; gets covered in moderately large yellow cone flowers in late winter. Hardy to 25 °F.
