An attractive small tree or mallee that is native to Western Australia with smooth, white or grey bark that is often powdery, and produces creamy-white flowers between November and January.
The round juvenile leaves are waxy white and frequently used in dry flower arrangements. The adult leaves are lanceolate, glossy, and dark green, and measure between 5 to 10 cm in length.
This plant usually grows as a mallee and can reach up to 3 meters in height. It is commonly found throughout the inland portion of Southwest Australia, particularly in the southern Wheatbelt region.
Thrives in well-drained soils in a sunny position. Drought and frost-resistant
Popular in the cut foliage industry where it is coppiced to produce the white juvenile leaves and used for cut foliage.
Although seeds can be sown most of the year if you avoid the coldest and hottest months, spring is generally the best time to sow.
The grow mix should be well-draining, preferably with organic compost. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
A potting mix is not recommended.
- Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix or vermicule. Do not bury the seed deeply.
- For larger seeds, sow to a depth of the seed size.
- Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
Germination occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty in discarding seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are like their natural germination requirements.
- All seeds 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.
- Customers should do their due diligence and ensure they are suited to their region.
