Description

Blush Cone Bush is a charming and versatile shrub with a soft color palette. Its foliage is green with a subtle red edge, blushing to more pronounced pink and red tones in cooler weather. In winter, it produces its namesake "blush" colored flower heads—creamy bracts that are softly tinted with pink and red. This elegant, understated coloring and its compact, rounded form make it a beautifully sophisticated choice for blending into mixed borders, cottage gardens, or for use in subtle, romantic floral arrangements.

  • Soft, Blushing Foliage & Flowers: Offers a delicate color display with foliage and flower bracts in harmonious shades of cream, soft pink, and muted red.

  • Neat, Compact Mounding Habit: Grows into a very dense, rounded, and symmetrical shrub that maintains its attractive shape without intervention.

  • Extended Ornamental Interest: Provides visual interest through its evolving foliage colors and long-lasting winter flowers.

  • Easy-Care & Drought Tolerant: Once established, it is incredibly low-maintenance, thriving on neglect in full sun and well-drained soil.

  • Elegant Cut Foliage: The softly colored stems and bracts are highly valued by florists for adding texture and a subtle hue to bouquets and dried arrangements.

Faqs

Q: How does it differ from 'Safari Goldstrike'?
A: While both are compact, 'Blush' typically has a softer, more pinkish-red tone on its foliage and bracts, whereas 'Safari Goldstrike' often has a brighter, more golden or cream base to its bracts with sharper red edges. 'Blush' presents a more muted, romantic color scheme.

Q: Can it tolerate inland heat?
A: Yes, it is very heat-tolerant once established, provided it has excellent drainage. In extreme inland heat, some afternoon shade can be beneficial, but full sun is still preferred for best form and color.
