Adenanthos sericeus
Common name: Wooly bush
1.5-3m high x 1-3m wide
Upright plant with silky silvery foliage. The flowers are red and bird attracting, but insignificant.
Mostly grows as an upright, spreading shrub but occasionally takes the habit of a small tree up to 5 m tall.
It can be used in cut flower arrangements.
Despite its small, unassuming flowers, A. sericeus is highly sought-after for its vibrant foliage.
Its ability to withstand salty winds makes it a popular choice for coastal planting. In fact, it is commonly used as a substitute for Christmas trees in the Albany region due to its unique, silky appearance.
This plant thrives in well-drained soil, but does not fare well in humid climates. Due to its lack of a lignotuber, it can only withstand light pruning.
The plant's silver foliage is favored in the cut-flower industry for its exceptionally long vase life, lasting up to 30 days regardless of treatment or season.
Good for coastal sites and withstands salt winds.
