Leucadendron Jack Harre

Common Name:
Jack Harre Conebush

Description:
Leucadendron 'Jack Harre' is a stunning, evergreen shrub known for its vibrant red bracts and silvery-green foliage. A member of the Proteaceae family, this South African native thrives in Melbourne’s well-drained soils and Mediterranean climate. It produces striking red flower bracts in autumn and winter, adding a bold splash of colour to gardens when many other plants are dormant. The foliage maintains year-round interest, making it an excellent feature plant, hedge, or addition to native and waterwise gardens. Drought-tolerant once established, 'Jack Harre' prefers full sun and is easy to maintain with occasional pruning to encourage a dense, compact habit.
