Previously known as Eucalyptus kingsmillii ssp. alatissima.
Typically grows as a multi-stemmed mallee but occasionally forms a single-stemmed small tree.
Produces stunning crimson ridged and horned flower buds that occur in clusters of 3 before opening to reveal pink-red coloured flowers that appear in spring.
Greyish-green curved lanceolate leaves are 13 cm long.
Endemic to the central inland of Western Australia in the regions of the Central Ranges, Gascoyne, Gibson Desert, Great Sandy Desert, Great Victoria Desert, Little Sandy Desert, Murchison, Pilbara, Tanami, and extending into northwest South Australia.
Prefers sandy-free draining soil in an open sunny position. Drought and frost-resistant.
Although seed can be sown most of the year around if you avoid the coldest and hottest months of the year, the best time to sow is generally spring.
- The grow mix should be free draining preferably with some organic compost well mix through. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
- Potting mix is not recommended.
- Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix, do not bury the seed deeply.
- For larger seed sow to a depth of the seed size.
- Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
Germination generally occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
*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
