Beautiful mystery | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

Saw this plant on a daily walk and loved it. Just need to know it’s name and any details on need for sun, water needs, etc. Thanks

laura735 Master Identifier says:

Maybe a type of conebush (Leucadendron). I’m not an expert of this genus, and only speculate that this could be a hybrid cultivar from a cross between Leucadendron laureolum & L. salignum. Some of the hybrids with similar leaves are ‘ Safari Sunshine’ ‘Jester’ etc…. The included link below can help you further with cultivation.
