Leucadendron Ebony - Burgundy Sunset

From early autumn through winter… the Leucadendron fields here in Rainbow take on so many warm, earthy hues. An array of stunning species, sub-species and cultivars will soon be flaunting their showy, colorful bracts.

Leucadendron Ebony or also called ‘Burgundy Sunset’ was named because of its purple-black leaves, a very distinct feature when compared to the green foliage of ‘Safari Sunset’ (the species from which it evolved). When Ebony blooms, the bracts that surround the ‘true flower’ turn a deep wine-red delivering a stunning cluster of flowers!

Aside from the splendor and significant of its name, Ebony stands out as a cut foliage and has real lasting power. It can last up to a month in a flower arrangement. This makes it a perfect Leucadendron for autumn and the up-coming holiday season, and those who are looking to add a unique, textural addition to their designs.


Ebony has FALL written all over it and because its colors are so vivid and eye-catching, the design options this Leucadendron provides are endless.
