Hakea laurina Details

Hakea laurina is a small tree grown for its pretty pink flowers. The flowers are shaped like balls and borne prolifically during autumn and winter. The foliage is mid green with a prickly end and a leathery appearance. It typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is frost tolerant once established and grows well in coastal environments. Hakea laurina is a spectacular plant that looks great in mixed and avenue plantings. It is also commonly grown as a specimen, added to smaller gardens, or used for adding that splash of colour during autumn and winter.
