Description
This Leucadendron duo brings together two exceptional varieties, 'Safari Sunset' and 'Jack Harre'. These evergreen bushes, similar to proteas and native to South Africa, are distinguished by their colourful foliage and unusual conical inflorescences that mainly appear in spring. These plants thrive in sunny gardens, but their cultivation is delicate as they have specific soil requirements. It is also essential to cultivate them in pots to overwinter them away from the coast.
The duo consists of:
1 Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset': This bush reaches a height of 1.50m to 2m. Its foliage changes from light green to purple-red in autumn, and its inflorescences consist of long and very noticeable bracts, with colours ranging from light red to yellow.
1 Leucadendron 'Jack Harre': This variety is more compact, reaching about 1m in height. Its green and yellow leaves remain bright all year round, and it offers a beautiful pink and red flowering.
Leucadendrons are ideally planted in spring, in full sun. They require a light, well-drained, filtering, nitrogen- and phosphorus-poor soil, with a tendency towards acidity, and moist to dry conditions in summer. A mixture of leaf compost, a little peaty soil, and river sand will be suitable. In coastal gardens, they can be integrated into flower beds, borders, or rockeries. These bushes can also be grown in 50 to 60-litre pots, with drainage holes, to decorate terraces and balconies.
In the ground, place the Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset' behind the lower 'Jack Harre' variety. Plan for approximately 1 to 2 plants per square metre, with a spacing of 80cm between each plant.
This duo can be complemented with a few lavenders and Corsican spurge plants, to be placed in the foreground. Ornamental grasses like Pennisetum provide movement and texture, while Agapanthus with blue or white umbels can be interspersed between the Leucadendrons.

Planting and care
Plant your Leucadendron in spring, in a very sunny and sheltered location. This bush requires a light, well-drained, filtering soil, low in nitrogen, with an acidic tendency, moist to dry in summer. A mixture of leaf compost, a little peaty soil and river sand seems appropriate. Leucadendron, like proteas, is sensitive to excess phosphates and nitrates, so it is best to avoid giving too much fertiliser, or even not giving any at all.
Mature plants tolerate occasional frosts of around -4/-5°C in dry soil, young plants, on the other hand, should be protected during their first few years, in a frost-free location in cold climates or under winter protection in regions with mild winters. Leucadendron flowers after about 4 to 5 years of cultivation from sowing.
For indoor cultivation, it is important to ensure good room ventilation and to avoid watering with hard water. Use pots of at least 50 to 60 litres, with drainage holes at the bottom. These bushes need space to develop their roots and thrive, so a large container is necessary to ensure optimal growth and good health. Use a well-drained substrate to prevent root rot.
Here is an example of a special mixture for Proteaceae:
- Cactus soil: 50% (this type of soil is well-drained and aerated)
- Coarse sand or fine gravel: 30% (to improve drainage)
- Composted pine bark: 10% (to increase aeration and drainage)
- Well-decomposed compost: 10% (to provide nutrients)

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

It will vary according to where you live:
- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
