Think beyond cacti
and succulents for
your waterwise garden,
adding some colour with
the red and yellow tones
of Leucadendron ‘Bella’s
Buttons’. Flowers with
prominent red centres cover the
yellow-leafed bush, which grows to 45cm by 45cm, in late
winter to early spring. This plant has all the attributes of a
waterwise plant and is also frost tolerant to –5°C. Suitable
for containers, garden beds and low, informal hedging, in
full or part sun, it likes an application of native fertiliser.
Tip-prune just before spring to keep it bushy.
