Leucadendron 'Perry's Red' - Red-tinted foliage, reddish buds and bracts set apart this 3 foot tall by 3 foot wide shrub. It prefers full sun, regular watering and no hard frost. It does poorly in humid summers. It has a similar look as Leucadendron 'Safari Sunset' but the leaves are smaller and thinner and the plant doesn't get as tall.
Plant in full sun in a fairly well drained soil. Hardy to 20-25° F.
We received this nice Leucadendron salignum hybrid from Dennis Perry and grew it from 1996 until 2014. We only discontinued it because we had built up sufficient quantities of Leucadendron salignum 'Blush', which we felt was slightly nicer and had better name recognition in the trade.
Information displayed on this page about Leucadendron 'Perry's Red' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
