Coastal woollybush is a shrub or occasional small tree native to the south coast of Western Australia, around King George Sound. It needs well-drained, acidic siliceous sand and is grown mainly for its soft, finely divided hairy foliage and small red flowers.
Adenanthos sericeus subsp. sericeus, commonly known as coastal woollybush, is a shrub native to the south coast of Western Australia. It has bright red but small and obscure flowers, and very soft, deeply divided, hairy leaves. It is the western subspecies of Adenanthos sericeus (woolly bush), occurring mostly in the vicinity of King George Sound.
Adenanthos sericeus subsp. sericeus occurs mostly around King George Sound, extending west as far as Torbay Inlet and east almost to Cape Riche; it sometimes occurs very close to the sea. It is calcifuge, occurring only in siliceous sands derived from weathered granite. Thus most populations are associated with granite monadnocks. Though its range is restricted, it is locally common and often dominant.
