Leucadendron Fireglow

Leucadendron 'Fireglow' is a cultivar of Leucadendron, a genus of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae. Leucadendrons are native to South Africa and are known for their stunning floral displays and unique foliage.

'Fireglow' is a particularly popular cultivar due to its striking appearance. It is a medium-sized evergreen shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.2-1.8 mt with a similar spread. The plant is characterized by its dense, bushy habit and its vibrant, fiery red bracts that surround the small, inconspicuous flowers. The bracts are the main attraction of 'Fireglow,' providing a burst of color that lasts for several weeks during the winter and spring seasons.

Leucadendron 'Fireglow' is highly valued as a cut flower due to its unique and eye-catching appearance. It is often used in floral arrangements and bouquets, adding a dramatic touch. Additionally, the plant's attractive foliage, which consists of narrow, lance-shaped leaves with a grayish-green color, adds further interest to the garden.
When it comes to cultivation, Leucadendrons, including 'Fireglow,' prefer well-drained soil and a sunny location. They are relatively drought-tolerant once established and are suitable for Mediterranean and coastal gardens. Pruning can be done after flowering to maintain the plant's shape and size.
