Hakea salicifolia

Hakea salicifolia Details

Hakea salicifolia is a small tree grown for its interesting flowers and colour foliage. Unusual cream-coloured flowers are produced during late winter and spring. The flowers are complemented with lush foliage that is fresh-green with orange highlights. It typically grows to 8 m tall and 4 m wide but can be trimmed and shaped as necessary. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site, and is tolerant of moderate frost, poor soils, and coastal environments. This is a spectacular plant that looks great in mixed and avenue plantings. Hakea salicifolia is also used for screening and shelter, as well as for adding colour to a planting.
