Winter Red' Conebush
Tough and eye-catching, Leucadendron salignum ‘Winter Red’ is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub grown for its attractive bracts and dazzling foliage of narrow leaves, turning intense purplish-red in the cooler months. Often mistaken for flowers, leathery red and cream bracts surround cones at the branch tips. These bracts are long-lasting and stunning in fresh and dried arrangements. Native to South Africa, this pretty shrub is heat and drought-tolerant once established.
