Leucadendron salignum 'Mrs Stanley'
Densely erect bushy shrub. It has fine mid green foliage with red tips. In summer bracts emerge a pinkish-red with cream centres and deepens to burgundy-red through winter. The stems are medium length 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.
