Leucadendron 'Super Star'
Densely spreading bushy shrub. It has fine mid green foliage that goes bronze in winter. A prolific late winter to spring display of red bracts with creamy-yellow inner surfaces, surrounding the yellow male flower. The stems are long and great for floral work. Very showy and lasts through the 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.
