Its foliage is green through most of the year, turning pale yellow in winter when abundant yellow bracts appear at the branch tips, creating a luminous display. These long-lasting blooms also make excellent cut flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hardy shrub thrives best in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soils. It is suitable for coastal gardens and can tolerate frosts down to −5 °C once established. The plant performs well in garden beds, slopes, or large containers, and its compact form makes it excellent for mixed native plantings or hedging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile drought tolerant after establishment, it benefits from regular watering during its first growing season. Prune lightly after flowering in spring to encourage new growth and maintain a compact shape. Avoid heavy feeding; instead, apply a low-phosphorus native fertiliser in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLandscape Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for rockeries, native borders, or small hedges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent as a mass planting or feature specimen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopular choice for cut and dried flower arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts birds, bees, and butterflies, adding biodiversity to the garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeucadendron salignum 'Yellow Countess'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight × Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 m × 1 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoliage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen, turning pale yellow in winter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCreamy to golden-yellow bracts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowering Season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter to early spring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFree-draining, slightly acidic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrost Tolerance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTo −5 °C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeatures\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrought tolerant once established; suitable for cut flowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Navigators Nursery","offers":[{"title":"140mm","offer_id":49078090367146,"sku":null,"price":18.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6665\/1050\/files\/116DE1F2-D550-423D-954E-FEF26C04667F.jpg?v=1771652302","url":"https:\/\/navigatorsnursery.shop\/products\/leucadendron-yellow-countess-140mm","provider":"Navigators Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
