Leucodendron Ebony

A South African native, Leucadendron Ebony is a truly stunning compact perennial shrub with dark wine-red, almost black foliage and scented vibrant red flowers that are tinged with green and yellow. Ideal for the smaller garden and great in containers. Prune in late winter to early spring to encourage flowering. Frost tolerant. For enhanced growth and flowering we recommend using Troforte M Native Slow Release fertiliser. Leucadendron Ebony can grow to 1.5m height and 2m width.

Water: Water well and often when freshly planted. Heat and drought tolerant once established.

Sun: Full sun for best coloured, part shade tolerated.

Soil: Sandy, free draining soils making it perfectly suited to the Perth environment. Enrich with organic matter for an added boost to growth. We recommend using Aussie Organics Premium Soil Conditioner prior to planting.
