Native to South Africa, Leucadendrons are prized for their foliage and/or flowers. Colorful showy bracts surround the cone-like flower clusters which together look like a large daisy. Leucadendron 'Ebony' is a slow-growing, evergreen shrub with year-round, eye-catching, dramatic black foliage. Small cone-like yellow flowers surrounded by showy, deep-red bracts appear in winter through spring. Ebony Conebush is an easy-care and waterwise option. Loves hot sun and lean, well-drained soils, but is less demanding than most of its relatives, even tolerating some clay. Great in containers, in cut flower arrangements, or as a stunning specimen plant in the garden.
How large does Ebony Conebush grow?
It typically grows 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, forming a dense, upright evergreen shrub with striking dark foliage.
What kind of light does it prefer?
Full sun is ideal to achieve the deepest foliage color and most compact growth.
What type of soil does it need?
It prefers very well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil. Avoid heavy, rich, or poorly drained soil, as excess moisture can harm the roots.
How should it be watered and maintained?
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant and requires little maintenance. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove old wood. Avoid fertilizers high in phosphorus.
