Of note are these intriguing silver seed cones produced in spring. Leucadendrons are dioecious - separate male and female plants. Both the male and female flowers occur in dense heads at the branch tips with the male flowers the most attractive, only the female plant will produce these cones and seed.

Leucadendron galpinii is a multi-stemmed, evergreen perennial with long, upright stems covered in silver-green foliage.

This is cultivar Purple Haze growing to 1.5 m.
