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.
