As the common name suggests the leaves are rough and actually feel like sandpaper. Flowering occurs from late winter to early spring and produces a spectacular display of dense, curved, yellow flower spikes.

Endemic in small populations to the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie and the Swan Coastal Plain regions of Western Australia.

Suited to the hottest part of the garden. Prefers well-drained soil in full sun. Will tolerate temperatures down to -7°C. Tip pruning will make the plant bushier.
