About This Product
Botanical Name: Leucadendron 'Ebony' PP 23,258
Common Name: Ebony Conebush
An upright, evergreen shrub grown for its bold, long-lasting cones and colorful bracts. It brings strong structural interest to Mediterranean and low-water landscapes. Narrow deep burgundy to near-black foliage is tipped with showy bracts that deepen to rich red tones in the cooler months, creating high seasonal contrast. Excellent for cut flower production and mass planting, this cultivar performs best in full sun with sharply drained, low-nutrient soils and benefits from infrequent, deep irrigation once established. Well-suited to coastal conditions and mild frost areas, it offers reliable color with minimal maintenance. Sensitive to phosphorus in soil and fertilizer.
