Leucadendron
Leucadendron · aka Sunset, conebush, cape flora
Leucadendron — cousin of the protea from South Africa's Cape — is the modern editorial designer's autumn signature. The Sunset variety in particular provides warm burgundy-to-copper coloration that no other cut flower matches. Exceptional vase life (up to 4 weeks) makes it a favourite for luxury installation work where flowers need to hold across a multi-day event.
