The Conebush 'African Spice' (Leucadendron salignum) is an unusual male hybrid that produces showy red foliage in early spring and into summer. This striking indigenous fynbos creates dramatic seasonal color displays and adds vibrant interest to water-wise gardens with its distinctive red tones.
Growing Tips: Plant in well-draining soil in full sun for best color development. Very drought-tolerant once established and ideal for low maintenance, low water use gardens. Requires minimal fertilizer and thrives in poor soils. Prune lightly after the color display to maintain shape.
