Description
Adenanthos sericeus 'Platinum', commonly known as the Woolly Bush, is a stunning Western Australian native prized for its soft, silvery foliage and compact form. Reaching a height of 1.2 to 2 metres and a width of 1.2 to 1.5 metres, this evergreen shrub adds both texture and colour to any Perth garden, making it ideal as a feature plant or part of a mixed native border. It thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil, with drought tolerance once established, making it an excellent choice for water-wise gardens.
In Late Spring (Kambarang) through Early Summer (Birak), 'Platinum' produces small, red flowers that attract birds and enhance the natural beauty of its foliage. As a perennial, it offers year-round appeal, requiring minimal maintenance while providing continuous greenery. This Woolly Bush is non-toxic, making it safe for both humans and pets, and its feathery, touchable foliage adds a unique sensory element to outdoor spaces.
