Adenanthos Sericeus 'Select' (Select Woolly Bush) is a beautifully refined form of the iconic Australian native Woolly Bush, prized for its soft, silvery-green foliage and naturally dense, upright habit. Its fine, feathery leaves create a striking textural contrast in the garden, making it an excellent feature plant for modern landscapes, coastal gardens, and low-maintenance native designs.
This cultivar is especially valued for its improved structure and uniform growth, offering a more compact and tidy appearance compared to the standard species. It also produces subtle yet attractive red tubular flowers that are highly appealing to nectar-feeding birds, adding movement and life to the garden. Hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and well-suited to coastal conditions, it is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial plantings.
