Leucadendron
discolor ~ Flame Tips |
| Leucadendron discolor has
one of the more striking flower color combinations. The flowers last
very well when cut. Leucadendron discolor grows to 5-6 feet tall and
wide. Leucadendron can be covered in striking red blossoms and
creamy yellow bracts from Winter and into Spring. Flame Tips plants
do not tolerate phosphate fertilizers and prefer well drained soil.
Due to the salinity of our Southern California water we amend around the
plants with soil sulfur each year. Winter temperatures of 20 degrees left
the plants still blooming
