Family Proteaceae
Originating from Western Australia.
Wispy and delicate, upright and rigid, pure white and dark olive green, with soft fluffy looking flowers set amongst sharp needle-like leaves. This upright evergreen shrub has a great character all of its own, with smooth dark tan coloured bark and sweet almond-scented flowers that appear in clusters directly from its branches. Their delightful aroma wafts some distance from the masses of delicate, curving stamens – irresistible to pollinators. Easy to grow in full sun or light shade, it is adaptable to pruning into any shape and is hardy in southern and coastal regions.
Height and spread after 10 – 20 years 3m x 3m.
