Leucadendron Silvan Red - 20cm

Leucadendron 'Silvan Red' is an evergreen proteaceous shrub grown for its colourful red-toned bracts and strong architectural foliage. It provides a long season of visual interest in sunny gardens, making it useful as a feature shrub, in mixed native or Mediterranean-style planting and in gardens where cut foliage is valued. The upright form gives structure even when the bracts are not at peak colour. It combines well with grevilleas, banksias, grasses and silver-leaved plants. For best performance, the plant needs excellent drainage and should be grown with the low-phosphorus feeding approach used for other protea-family plants.
