Leucadendron 'Hawaii Sunrise' PP31,705 (Sunrise Royal Hawaiian Cone Bush) - A compact dense growing upright shrub to 3 to 4 feet tall by 2 to 3 feet wide with narrow 1 1/2 inch red tipped lanceolate green leaves and a mass bloom at branch tips late winter through mid spring with flowers that have yellow stamens held within bright yellow bracts that have reddish tips. Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil with occasional to infrequent irrigation - definitely a "drought tolerant" plant once established. This plant is new into cultivation so cold hardiness has not been tested but likely it will prove hardy at least to 25°F and perhaps a bit lower. As with others in the Proteaceae it is best to avoid using any Phosphorus fertilizer. This is a very attractive compact cone bush, making it a great choice for smaller gardens and as a potted specimen. It comes from a breeding program conducted at Kula, Hawaii by John Cho of the University of Hawaii with the goal of creating a showy compact plant with short internodes. It was the result of crossing a selection of Leucadendron stelligerum with a selection of Lcd. discolor. This is the second of the Royal Hawaiian series introduced following the introduction of Leucadendron 'Hawaii Magic' in 2018.
