Mallee Mallet
Family: Myrtaceae
Characteristics: Mallee shrub or small tree to 4 m
Seed per packet: Approx. 15
Seed per gram: Approx. 40-50
An attractive small Mallee that grows up to 4 meters tall with smooth coppery-brown bark that peels in strips and silvery-grey leaves.
The maturered and elongated flower buds occur in the leaf axils and open to display beautiful creamy-coloured flowers.
Occurs naturally in the southern parts of Western Australia, in regions including Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, and Mallee.
It prefers a sandy loamy soil and an open, sunny position.
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.
