Products > Leucadendron 'Hawaii Sunrise' PP31,705   Leucadendron 'Hawaii Sunrise' PP31,705 - Sunrise Royal Hawaiian Cone Bush     [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Shrub Family: Proteaceae (Proteas) Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Yellow Bloomtime: Winter/Spring Synonyms: (Leucadendron LN9) Parentage: (Lcd. stelligerum x Lcd. discolor) Height: 3-4 feet Width: 2-3 feet Exposure: Full Sun Summer Dry: Yes Irrigation (H2O Info): Low Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 25-30° F Leucadendron 'Hawaii Sunrise' PP31,705 (Sunrise Royal Hawaiian Cone Bush) - A compact dense growing upright shrub to 3 to 4 feet tall by 2 to 3 feet wide with narrow 1 1/2 inch red tipped lanceolate green leaves and a mass bloom at branch tips late winter through mid spring with flowers that have yellow stamens held within bright yellow bracts that have reddish tips. Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil with occasional to infrequent irrigation - definitely a "drought tolerant" plant once established. This plant is new into cultivation so cold hardiness has not been tested but likely it will prove hardy at least to 25°F and perhaps a bit lower. As with others in the Proteaceae it is best to avoid using any Phosphorus fertilizer. This is a very attractive compact cone bush, making it a great choice for smaller gardens and as a potted specimen. It comes from a breeding program conducted at Kula, Hawaii by John Cho of the University of Hawaii with the goal of creating a showy compact plant with short internodes. It was the result of crossing a selection of Leucadendron stelligerum with a selection of Lcd. discolor. This is the second of the Royal Hawaiian series introduced following the introduction of Leucadendron 'Hawaii Magic' in 2018.  The information that is presented on this page is based on research we have conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online sources. We also consider observations we have made of it in the nursery's garden and in other gardens we have visited, as well how it performs in our nursery crops out in the field. We incorporate comments that we receive from others as well and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they know of cultural information that would aid others in growing  Leucadendron 'Hawaii Sunrise' PP31,705.     [MORE INFO]
