Aulax cancellata - Feather Bush or Bronze Haze
Aulax cancellata – Feather Bush or Bronze Haze

Grown for the foliage as well as the flowers, Aulax cancellata is from South Africa and related to Leucodendrons.

The new foliage is a major attraction, bronze and feathery. The foliage does fade to green as it ages so regular pruning will assist with maintaining the great coiler.
This is a winter flowing plant, yellow flowers held at the stem tips surrounded by bronze foliage add colour when much needed.

Used in landscaping as a background foliage plant, Aulax cancellata can also be grown in containers or as a low hedge.

Care

Once established this is a very easy care plant. It does require good sun and very well drained soil.

  • Plant in a well drained soil in a sunny position.
  • Prepare the soil well by digging in some extra drainage material if needed..
  • Plant and water in with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  • Mulch around the plant to retain a cool moist root run.
  • Allow the soil to dry partially between watering.

Propagation

Easy from seed sown in autumn
