Leucadendron

Leucadendrons are striking architectural plants, valued for their bold foliage, sculptural form and exceptional colour.

Their vibrant bracts—often flushed with reds, golds and greens—provide long-lasting interest through the cooler months, making them a standout in the garden when colour is most welcome.

Well suited to free-draining soils and full sun to part shaded positions, Leucadendrons are drought tolerant once established and thrive in low-input landscapes. Their neat, upright habit and strong stems make them ideal for modern gardens, feature plantings and mass displays.

Highly prized in floristry, Leucadendron stems are an exceptionally long-lasting cut flower, holding colour and structure for weeks, both fresh and dried. When growing in pots, ensure an Australian native potting mix and native fertiliser are used, and select a container with adequate drainage holes, as these plants do not tolerate waterlogging. Adaptable, resilient and visually striking, Leucadendrons bring year-round form and reliable impact to gardens and arrangements alike.
