Leucadendron Safari Gold Strike

Common Name: Safari Gold Strike Leucadendron

Description:
Leucadendron 'Safari Gold Strike' is a stunning evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant golden-yellow bracts that intensify in colour from late autumn through spring. These striking bracts, surrounding small cone-like flowers, contrast beautifully with its slender, green foliage, adding year-round structure and interest to gardens. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub thrives in Melbourne’s climate, tolerating drought, frost, and coastal conditions once established. It performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and is ideal for feature planting, hedging, or as a striking addition to native, rock, and coastal gardens. The long-lasting bracts also make excellent cut flowers.
