Hakea sericea

USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map

Close

The leaves are rigid and spiny. The effect is not unlike some conifers. The inflorescences are the only delicate part of the species and are like dainty pale cream curls close on the branches towards the tips. There is a scent of honey or almonds from the flowers.

It has good drought resistance.
