Shallow roots so can be planted close to buildings.
PLANTING: For best flowering, plant in full sun, which will also encourage denser growth. Grows in sandy clay in the wild but thrives in most kinds of free draining soil. Site out of strong winds. If you are in VIC or SA check with your local council as it is noted as a weed plant in some local areas there.
CARE: Water regularly until established. Tolerates light frost and drought once established; soft growth may be affected but the roots will be unharmed. Mulch plants to retain moisture in the soil. Feed with a slow release native fertiliser during spring - Hakea species can be phosphorus-sensitive so the P ratio of the fertiliser needs to be under 3%. Stake plants in areas exposed to wind.HEIGHT & WIDTH : 2.5 - 6m H x 2 - 5m W.
