Silver Tree

Leucadendron Argenteum

 
 
 

Leucadendron agenteum or Silver Tree is a fast-growing small tree with spectacular silvery/sage green foliage that is consistent all year round.  You can prune it to an ideal shape and size and it’s perfect for cut flowers and looks amazing in any style garden – although it is particularly great for coastal style, native and silver and/or white-themed gardens.

Classed as an endangered plant species in the family Proteaceae, it is endemic to a small area of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa.  It is a protected tree in South Africa. This tree prefers to be in full sun and well-draining soil. The silver foliage transforms to silver flowers in Spring, showing a luminous glow in the sunshine.
