Leucadendron salignum discolor Lime Magic is a beautiful, upright-growing shrub prized for its fresh, luminous colour and architectural form. Flowering in early spring, it displays creamy white to pale lime blooms held above vivid lime-green foliage, creating a clean, modern look that brightens the garden when many plants are just waking up.

Naturally neat and vertical in habit, Lime Magic works wonderfully as a feature plant, in mixed native garden beds, or grown in pots and containers. The long-lasting stems also make it an excellent choice for cut flowers and floral arrangements. When growing in containers, use an Australian native potting mix and a low-phosphorus native fertiliser, and always choose pots with excellent drainage.
