A very ornamental species with dense foliage of small phyllodes (leaves) that produces bright golden yellow flowers that occur from June to October.
Although it was not commonly cultivated it is becoming more popular for its ornamental value in native landscapes as well as being well suited for rockeries and small gardens.
A small spreading or prostrate shrub can be variable in height from 30 cm to 2 metres depending on the conditions.
Priority 4 species: Rare, Near Threatened and other species in need of monitoring.
Occurs naturally in the region of the Geraldton Sandplains in Western Australia.
Prefers light well-drained soil in positions from partial shade to full sun. Drought resistant and light frost tolerant.
For best results, sow the seeds in spring or early summer. Sowings in autumn and winter may result in slow germination, weaker seedlings, or germination failure.
- soak in water for 24-48 hours.
- Next, soak seeds in near boiling water overnight to help soften the tough exterior and improve germination.
- Sow the seeds to a depth equal to the seed's width.
Germination: Typically occurs within two weeks.
Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate, keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region.
