Leucadendron salignum or the Red Devil is a medium sized, multi-stemmed shrub with red stems and reddish/purple flower heads with creamy centres..
They will only produce red flowers if planted in full sun, with more shade encouraging foliage and flowers to become greener.
There are many hybrids and cultivars on the market, each with variations of leaf and bract colouring.
They go well in cottage style borders as well as native garden designs. Good on embankments and as a low hedge.
