Adenanthos sericea or the Albany Woolly Bush is an upright, native shrub that features soft, grey, deeply divided and hairy foliage.
It also produces contrasting red to orange flowers which are produced mainly in spring with spot flowering all the year around, though often hidden within the foliage.
This is an ideal specimen for screening, hedging and for narrow garden spaces.
They attract birds to your garden and are tolerant of drought and coastal environments, making them a very versatile plant for Australian gardens and landscapes.
It is also popular as a long lasting cut flower providing soft foliage contrast in arrangements.
Sometimes grown in a pot and used as an alternative Christmas Tree.
