Willow leaved Hakea 200MM

Hakea salicifolia

I am Willow leaved Hakea. My family originated from South and eastern Australia.

Habit Tree - Bird attracting
Plant family Proteaceae
I am an Australian native with a very vigorous growth habit and being incredibly hardy, am one of the quickest options for creating a tall informal screening hedge or wind break. I produce a profusion of delicate beautiful spidery white flowers along its stems from winter into spring which along with my dense habitat forming foliage attract insects, small birds and other animals. I can be pruned to size and shape if required but left alone I develop into a very shapely small tree with foliage to ground level. I tolerate most conditions and soil types.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I have a naturally dense form and quick growth making me a good screening choice
My delicate white flowers appear May to October attracting nectar feeding birds and insects
My new foliage is tinged purple
