leucadendron-salignum-bright-eyes
Leucadendron salignum 'Bright Eyes' is a small shrub that is native to the Cape region of South Africa.
This hybrid variety is compact and showcases long-lasting red, orange, and white cone flowers throughout spring and summer, as well as year-round leaf color.
It is perfect as a stand-alone feature shrub, mixed with other natives, or planted in a large container for cut flowers and foliage.
When planting, be sure to choose a spot in full sun with well-draining soil, as this species thrives in coastal gardens and can grow back after a fire.
During the first 4-6 weeks, remember to mulch and water regularly until the plant is established. Once established, it is drought tolerant, only needing additional water during dry spells.
At a height and width of 1.5 meters, it offers a beautiful and compact size.
