Leucadendron ‘Safari Gold Strike’ – Yellow Cone Bush

Leucadendron salignum ‘Safari Gold Strike’, commonly known as Safari Goldstrike Yellow Cone Bush, is an evergreen shrub prized for its upright red stems, pale green foliage and spectacular golden-yellow bracts. Its compact, rounded habit makes it an excellent feature plant for sunny gardens and mixed shrub borders.

The colourful cone-like flower heads appear at the tips of the branches during winter and spring, creating a striking display. The long-lasting bracts are also highly valued for cut-flower arrangements, retaining their colour and form well after harvesting.

‘Safari Gold Strike’ performs best in full sun and acidic, well-drained soil. It is relatively low maintenance once established but should not be fertilised with phosphorus-rich products, as Proteaceae are sensitive to phosphorus.
