Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset'
Densely erect bushy shrub. It has broad dark green foliage. Very rich red bracts form on long stems from late summer, at their best during autumn and winter. The stems are long and great for floral work. Excellent vase life. Very colourful and lasts through the late winter and spring. To maintain bushy habit, prune back stems in late spring. Best in a sunny site in well drained soil, tolerates dry conditions once established.
