Schoenia everlastings make up a large part of the spectacular wildflower display that occurs every spring in Western Australia.
A profusion of large bright pink blooms over several months from late winter to summer. Excellent for cut flowers or for drying and preserving.

Endemic to a wide range in Western Australia.

Prefers light to medium well-composted soils in a protected sunny position, drought, and frost tender.

Grow notes:

Best sown in Autumn or Winter. Can be grown throughout summer if water is provided.

If sowing directly into the ground sow on the surface and rake very lightly, it is not critical to cover all the seed. Seed should germinate 7-14 days after first rains.

If sowing in containers:

  1. Best sown in Autumn or Winter. Sow seed on the surface of a porous seed raising mix.
  2. Sprinkle a very light covering of the seed raising mix over the seed, it is not critical to cover all the seed. Do not bury seed deeply.
  3. Water with fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
  4. Place in a warm shaded or semi-shaded position to avoid dying out.
  5. Keep moist, and avoid drying out or waterlogging the growing mix.
  6. Germination generally occurs in around 7-14 days in the right conditions

General note: Seeds of many natives are dormant and require specific conditions or pre-treatment for germination.
Do not be too hasty to discard seed that does not germinate, seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination to occur. Containers put to one side will often surprise long after they were discarded.
