Darwinia capitellata is a bushy, many-branched shrub from south-west Western Australia, growing to about 1 metre, grown mainly by native plant enthusiasts. It is best kept in full sun with well-drained, sandy soil that stays dry between waterings.
Darwinia capitellata is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a bushy, many-branched shrub, very similar to Darwinia diosmoides but differs in the arrangement of its flowers, its more branched habit, prominent oil glands on the younger stems and its thinner, paper-like bracteoles. It was first discovered as a separate species when specimens of it were found to have a larger chromosome number than specimens of D. diosmoides.
This darwinia grows on sandplains, sometimes on sandstone rock between Kalbarri National Park, Perenjori and Sandstone in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Mallee, Murchison and Yalgoo biogeographic regions.
