Dodonaea Viscosa (Sticky Hopbush)

Dodonaea Viscosa (Sticky Hopbush) is a hardy, evergreen Australian native shrub admired for its attractive green foliage, dense branching habit and colourful, papery seed capsules. Its narrow, glossy leaves have a slightly sticky texture, giving the plant its common name. The shrub produces small, inconspicuous flowers followed by decorative winged seed capsules that can develop shades of pink, red or brown, adding seasonal interest to native gardens and landscapes.

Ideal for hedging, screening, windbreaks, coastal gardens and native landscaping, Sticky Hopbush thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts to a wide range of soil conditions. It is drought-tolerant once established and responds well to pruning, making it a practical choice for low-maintenance gardens. Its dense growth also provides valuable shelter for native birds and other wildlife.
