PROTEA SEEDS LEUCADENDRON DISCOLOR - 5 PROTEA SEEDS

PROTEA LEUCADENDRON DISCOLOR

Leucadendron discolor peaks in decorative splendour with blooms in spring and summer. The common name of pom-pom flame-tips is quite apt; so is rooitolbos in Afrikaans.

The sexes are represented on separate plants. The erect shrubs grow to over 2 m. The male cones have orange-red tops, are yellow lower down, based in a cup of broad, creamy yellow bracts. The females, like many bird species, are less showy; their flowering cones are green, tinged with yellow and red. The leaves are oval-shaped, blue-grey, sometimes with a purple tinge in winter.
