Information
Sunshine conebush, geelbos (Afr.)
This species adapts well to vigorous pruning, which makes it suitable for the production of cut foliage on a large scale.
It is common from Port Elizabeth in the east, to north of Ceres in the west. It occurs on a wide range of soil types, from sea level to an altitude of 2000 m and is quite variable in leaf size as well as leaf- and bract colour.
