Adenanthos

Adenanthos is characterized by its striking, often silvery foliage and uniquely lobed leaves, capturing an essence of resilience and beauty. Native to Australia's sandy coastal areas, it thrives in nutrient-poor soils, showing remarkable adaptations. The shrubs of adenanthos display vibrant flowers that subtly emerge, adapted perfectly to attract native pollinators. Their fire-resistant qualities help them survive harsh conditions.

Propagation: Propagation of adenanthos can be achieved through semi-hardwood cuttings or seeds. Key factors for success include light, temperatures of 15-25°C (59-77°F), and well-draining soil.
