| Dryandra obtusa is one of the prostrate species of the genus. It has horizontal stems which spread to about 1 - 2 metres and which may be partly underground. The leaves are long and narrow, being up to 30 cm long by 2 cm wide with blunt, triangular teeth along each side. The yellow flower heads form at the ends of the branches and are 3 to 5 cm in diameter. Flowers are seen in winter and spring and are surrounded by reddish/brown bracts. D.obtusa is not commonly seen in cultivation but is one of the hardier species. It is likely to resent summer humidity but would be worth experimenting with in a range of well-drained soils and climates. It is tolerant of at least moderate frost. Propagation from seed is relatively easy. 5 seeds |
