Hakea laurina is one of the most admired native plants of southwestern Australia. Tiny new flower buds can be seen as early as December. By autumn, they become fat, pointed, and covered with ornamental scales, whitened by fine hairs.
Cream and pink flowers resemble pincushions that occur in dense clusters profusely in autumn—widely grown in many parts of the world for their ornamental value.
Endemic to Western Australia.
Prefers medium to heavy soil in a protected sunny position, drought and frost-resistant.
It occurs naturally in the IBRA regions of the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, and Swan Coastal Plain in the Southwest of Western Australia.
Hakea belongs to the ancient plant family Proteaceae, which split into two subfamilies, Grevilleoideae in Australia and Proteoideae in South Africa, before the separation of the Gondwanaland continent around 140 million years ago.
The best time to sow Hakea is spring.
Pre-germination of seeds by sowing into a closed container containing moist vermiculite or similar material is also useful, particularly for winter sowing when outdoor temperatures may be unsuitable.
Germination usually occurs in 1-2 weeks using this method, and when the root has reached about a centimetre or so in length, the seedling can be placed into a small pot of seed-raising mix.
*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.
