Leucadendron

Leucadendron Varieties

Leucadendron is a genus of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae, native to South Africa. It is commonly known as "cone bush" or "leucadendron." The genus includes around 80 recognized species.

Leucadendron species are typically evergreen shrubs or small trees. They vary in size and form, with some species growing as low-growing shrubs and others reaching heights of 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) or more.

Many Leucadendron species are popular in horticulture and are cultivated as garden plants or cut flowers. They require well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Some species are also drought-tolerant and can withstand coastal conditions.

Growing Leucadendron in Australia can be successful, as the country shares a similar climate to the native habitat of these plants in South Africa.
