This is one of our best-known Mallee eucalypts only occurring in a restricted area in south Western Australia on a small number of granite outcrops.
An attractive tree with pendulous branches that are known in cultivation as ‘Silver Princess’. The flowers are large (up to 50 mm) and normally pink to red but white flowering plants are known. Flowering is very conspicuous and occurs in winter and spring and is followed by large, silver urn-shaped gum nuts about 30 mm in diameter. Quite a spectacular small tree.
Native to Western Australia.
Prefers light to medium well-drained soil in an open sunny position, drought resistant but frost tender.
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.
Germination occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
