Wildflower Seed - West Australian Christmas Tree

Wildflower Seed West Australian Christmas Tee is named after the early explorer Pieter Nuyts who almost found Australia. The WA Christmas Tree lights up the WA coastline around November and December each year. It makes a striking tree with its large golden spears of flowers. Interestingly, the plants are semi-parasitic and take a small portion of their nutrients from surrounding host plants (this does not damage the host plants). Reports suggest hosts such as couch grass or Crepe Myrtle can be used with success.

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.

How To Grow In warm areas at any time. In frost prone areas sow when danger of frost is over. Use plain sand or sterile seed raising mix as bacteria and fungi in unsterilised soil can rot the seeds). Sow seeds on the surface of the soil in individual containers or together in a pot. It is beneficial to add Wildflower Seed Starter granules to soil surface. Keep moist in a cool shady spot to germinate. Protect from snails and slugs.
