Description: Leucadendron Florence is a medium sized shrub with lush feathery silver foliage year round and an abundance of yellow flowers in Spring and silver cones after flowering.
This selection has slightly larger flowers and foliage than Leucadendron 'Pisa' and colours up a little earlier, this is a great variety for flower growers.
How to look after Leucadendron Florence:
Plant in a free draining acidic soil.
Although Leucadendrons are drought tolerant, soil should be kept moist in the first year until plant is established, once established they may require some watering in extremely dry conditions.
Prune Leucadendron Florence after flowering to maintain shape and size.
