GOLD STRIKE

GOLD STRIKE

Leucadendron ‘Safari Goldstrike’ (Yellow Conebush) – This is a vigorous, compact grower to 6 feet tall. The “flowers” are composed of bright clean yellow bracts that surround the central female cone on vigorous long stems during winter and spring. Likened to a yellow version of the popular ‘Safari Sunset’ although a smaller grower. Has medium frost tolerance – hardy to 20-25° F. This is an excellent candidate for cut flower and foliage harvesting. Prune well after flowering to ensure a sturdy plant. This plant is from Kingflora Nurseries in New Zealand were it has been protected under Plant Breeders Rights since 1997. It is a great plant with ‘Safari Sunset’ and is one the most popular of the yellow flowering cut flower varieties.
