Adenanthos sericeus (Woolly Bush)

Woolly Bush is a striking Australian native shrub admired for its exceptionally soft, silvery-green foliage and graceful, upright habit. Its fine, feathery leaves create a beautiful texture that adds year-round colour and movement to native gardens, coastal landscapes, mixed borders, and contemporary garden designs. Small red tubular flowers appear throughout the cooler months, attracting nectar-feeding birds while enhancing its natural appeal. The attractive foliage is also highly prized for floral arrangements and cut foliage.

Highly adaptable and easy to maintain, Woolly Bush thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is well suited to drought-tolerant and coastal gardens once established. Its naturally dense growth makes it an excellent choice for screening, informal hedging, feature planting, or as a soft contrast amongst bold foliage plants. Combining ornamental beauty with outstanding resilience, this elegant Australian native is ideal for low-maintenance landscapes.
