Hi,

Please help me identify this plant.

Highlands County Florida

Expert Response

This is a Leucadendron. There are so many, I don't know which. One or two have the word "burgundy" or "sunset" in their names, so check those out.

Thank you! Do you know where I can buy this? I've looked online and they only sell it in UK or Australia.

Thanks.

Study the plant family of Leucadendron, the Proteaceae. These are not widely grown in the USA because of the specific needs of the plant.
I am unable to make commercial recommendations. Local plant nurseries and botanic gardens are good sources if nothing is showing up with online searches.
