23 Jul 2012
Ausflora Pacific has an outstanding range of Leucadendrons, perfect for adding that special touch to any garden or large scale landscape.
Leucadendron is a genus of plants from the Proteaceae family.
Available in many different sizes(1m-3m), foliage colours and textures, Leucadendrons can add something special to any garden or large scale landscape. Larger Leucadendrons can be used as screening and shading plants and smaller ones can be used for colourful borders.
Ausflora Pacific has a large selection of Leucadendrons, with over 20 varieties, you’re sure to find the perfect plant for your needs. We have been providing Leucadendron plants and cut-flowers to retailers, wholesalers and landscapers for 30 years.
Requiring acidic well drained soil and a sunny position, they are hardy garden varieties that require little water once established.
Leucadendrons require little maintenance with a good pruning once a year before next year’s growth appears to maintain shape and size.
The three we have featured here are some of our favourites for late winter/early spring.
