Leucadendron

Leucadendron galpinii Purple Haze is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its dramatic foliage colour and architectural form. During winter, the plant develops deep purple tones through its foliage, beautifully contrasted by silver-grey highlights that create a shimmering effect in the garden. In late spring to summer, attractive silver cones appear, adding further visual interest and making the plant highly desirable for floral arrangements and cut flowers. This smaller-growing leucadendron makes an excellent feature plant, with its unusual purple-tinted foliage providing a bold contrast among green shrubs and perennials. It works well in garden beds, coastal gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes, and also performs beautifully in large pots or containers where its colour and form can be showcased.

Soil: Well-drained, native soil.
Conditions: Full sun position. Light frost and drought tolerant once established.
Size: Height 1.5m x width 1m
