Safari Sunset Cone Bush
Leucadendron salignum ‘Safari Sunset’
Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset' is a spectacular, evergreen shrub prized for its brilliant, long-lasting floral bracts that create a fiery display in the winter and spring garden. This vigorous, upright grower features narrow, oval green leaves on striking red stems, forming a tall, dense, compact shrub. From winter through spring, it produces an abundance of cone-like flowers surrounded by vibrant, bright red bracts that gradually fade to cream, creating a stunning, multi-toned effect. Exceptionally long-lasting as a cut flower, it is also drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and salt-tolerant, making it an outstanding choice for Mediterranean gardens, coastal plantings, water-wise landscapes, and as a dramatic specimen or hedge.
