Exotic plant: Pincushion Hakea (Hakea Laurina)

This is an attractive small evergreen which can be grown as a tree or shrub. Long leathery leaves are thick and smooth with prominent veining and have a tendency to wave and curl. Fascinating, cherry red ball like flowers appear from autumn to late winter, adorned with long, white pin like stamens, earning its common name of ‘pincushion Hakea’. Native to southern parts of Western Australia, it’s a hardy, drought tolerant plant which attracts birds into the garden and can also be useful as a cut flower.
