Description

Winter Red Cone Bush is a classic and reliable selection that shines in the cooler months. Its handsome green foliage takes on rich burgundy and purple-red hues as temperatures drop in fall and winter, providing a warm contrast to the winter landscape. During this time, it also displays its ornamental flower cones surrounded by red bracts. With a neat, rounded habit and incredible toughness, it is a cornerstone plant for adding structure and year-round, drought-tolerant beauty to the garden.

  • Winter Burgundy Foliage Color: Foliage transforms from green to attractive shades of burgundy, purple, and red in autumn and winter, offering valuable cold-season interest.

  • Ornamental Winter Cones: Produces its showy, cone-shaped flower heads in winter, often coinciding with the peak foliage color for a double display.

  • Tidy, Rounded Habit: Maintains a compact, well-proportioned, rounded form without requiring much, if any, pruning.

  • Extremely Drought & Wind Tolerant: Excellently suited to coastal and exposed gardens, thriving in poor, sandy, well-drained soils with minimal summer water.

  • Versatile Landscape Shrub: Effective as a single specimen, in groups, or as a low, colorful hedge. The foliage and cones are superb in dried arrangements.

Faqs

Q: Is it frost hardy?
A: Yes, once established, it is quite frost tolerant, handling temperatures down to around 25°F (-4°C) with ease, making it suitable for many parts of Zone 9a.
