Leucadendron Ebony: Burgundy Velvety Foliage, A Timeless Classic
⚫ Leucadendron 'Ebony': The Deepest Black-Red Foliage The Leucadendron 'Ebony' is an award-winning and architecturally stunning Conebush hybrid (Leucadendron genus) prized for having some of the darkest foliage available in the landscape. This dramatic evergreen shrub is a highly sought-after choice for creating intense contrast and sophisticated color palettes. It is primarily grown for its slender, glossy leaves and terminal bracts, which maintain a nearly black-red to deep burgundy hue throughout the year, with the color intensifying in the cool season. 'Ebony' is an excellent, medium-sized specimen plant for adding profound depth and visual weight to Mediterranean, coastal, and architectural gardens. Its robust, upright habit, superior drought tolerance, and unique color make it a resilient and low-maintenance choice, yielding superb, long-lasting cut foliage and cones.
