Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Winter Red is a dense, compact variety that erupts with color during the cooler months. Leaf-like bracts of creamy-white open and age to bright pink then an intense red. Cold weather changes the usually dull green leaves to a flush of purple-red. This is another smallish scaled Leucadendron for smaller gardens. A Spring pruning will keep it in check if branches decide to get a bit bigger than desired.
