Wildflower Seed - Pincushion Hakea

Wildflower Seed Pincushion Hakea is an upright shrub/small tree that features really distinctive, round, pincushion-like flowers with red, waxy centre and spiky yellow tips. The plants reach 2.5-4m in height and tolerate dryness, cold, heat and neglect. For a truly remarkable floral centrepiece, try combining these blooms with banksia or wattle flowers.

We recommend the use of Wildflower Seed Starter Granules for improved germination rates and speed. These granules provide chemicals normally found in bushfire smoke that stimulate native seed germination.

Seed packet contains 10 seeds.

Plant Height: 5m
