Products > Leucadendron 'Maui Sunrise' PPAF   Leucadendron 'Maui Sunrise' PPAF - Sunrise Royal Hawaiian Cone Bush     [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Shrub Family: Proteaceae (Proteas) Origin: South Africa (Africa) Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Red & Yellow Bloomtime: Winter/Spring Height: 3-4 feet Width: 3-5 feet Exposure: Full Sun Summer Dry: Yes Irrigation (H2O Info): Low Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 25-30° F Leucadendron 'Maui Sunrise' PPAF - A very compact shrub to 3 to 4 feet tall by as wide with red stems bearing 2 inch long lanceolate olive green leaves. In late winter appear the yellow male flowers in 1 inch tall clusters surrounded by bracts that emerge yellow and turn a very nice reddish pink. Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil with occasional to infrequent irrigation - definitely a "drought tolerant" plant once established. This plant is very 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 plant is the most compact of the colorful Royal Hawaian series cultivars, 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. We first received it for trial in 2018 and when released for sales with be marketed in the US by PlantHaven.  The information about Leucadendron 'Maui Sunrise' PPAF displayed on this page is based on research conducted in our library and from reliable online resources.
