Hey Megan! Do it, get one! You’ll love it – I want MORE! I am determined to get more space in my garden SOMEHOW! I just might have to construct another level – like a two story house, but the garden version!

YAY Loree! Which one did you get? I love them all – ‘Safari Sunset’ is out of this world, and so is ‘Pisa’… haven’t met a leuc I didn’t love! I could see having a leucadendron collection, too. I need farm. This plant habit is crowding me out of my home!

ESP!!! So glad you like my nosey-parker leucadendron! I can see them in The Patch – they have that kind of exuberance you encourage. It got bigger than I expected, but I never mind it when a plant decides to become a little bit of a monster. Monsters I can handle, stinkhorns – not so much…
W.G.!!!

Hi Dirty Girl -aren’t they just the best? The foliage, the stems, the way the bracts look like a sprinkling of stars descending on the garden – GARDEN LOVE!!!

Nicole! DO IT! I encourage any leucadendron love …

Michelle D., I am WITH you – but I haven’t planted any leucospermum yet. I think I’m going to put some in my HellStrip this summer. And I LOVE love love L. ‘Safari Sunset’! That is going to look beautiful on your blog. What a wonderful plant!

Pam sweetheart! Get to know a leucadendron today! I know you’ll love it…

Leucadendrons and Leucospermums seem to be my passion right now.
There are so many fantastic new introductions each year that I am running out of room in my garden to try them all.
My absolute favorite at the moment is L. Safari Sunset. I’m using a photo of it as my banner photo on my blog, I love it so much !
Looking forward to trying this variety in a new garden this spring.
Thanks for the lovely photos of inspiration.

Hi G.
What a great combination, writes down.. hybrid aloe blooms and Leucadendron, must have! The colors pick up on each other very well and the way the Leucadendron pokes it’s nose all around your garden is great, a total rambling nosy-parker.

That last picture is amazing.

ESP.

Gorgeous! I’ve been wanting something from the proteaceae family for a long time, but never picked one up.
