Sea urchin Hakea

Hakea petiolaris

This eye-catching native has an upright spreading habit that develops into a small tree. Its attractive pale, grey-green leaves – and creamy purplish flowers held in large globular shaped clusters resembling sea urchins – make it an ideal statement specimen in a garden, a screening plant or consider it for an avenue tree on a rural property.  Thrives in an open, sunny position in well drained soil (avoid too much humidity as susceptible to root rot) and can tolerate light frost. This hakea will delight in late autumn through to early winter with its striking blooms.

Endemic to Western Australia, this annual everlasting daisy is a go-to-choice for creating pretty native wildflower meadow effects in your garden. With flowers ranging from pure white to deep pink with contrasting bright yellow or deep black centres, each stem is topped with a flower appearing from August to November that opens in full sunshine, closing at night or in wet conditions. Can attract a range of bees and other pollinating insects to your garden. Be sure to grow in sandy open soil in sun to part shade, feed with native fertilizer and water in dry weather and cut back old flowers to encourage reshooting. Everlastings can also be dried by hanging upside down after cutting – pick in bud, they will open as they dry and retain their colour. H-0.2-0.7m W-0.2-0.4m
