Darwinia meeboldii, known as Cranbrook bell, is an erect, spindly shrub from south-west Western Australia, grown for its clusters of pendent red, white and green bracted flowers. The key to growing it is excellent drainage and protection from harsh direct sun.
Darwinia meeboldii, commonly known as Cranbrook bell, is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, spindly shrub with crowded leaves and clusters of pendent flowers surrounded by large bracts.
The species requires good drainage and protection from direct sun. It is difficult to propagate from seed, but cuttings strike readily. Grafting on stocks of Darwinia citriodora may be carried out in areas with unsuitable growing conditions including high humidity.
Cranbrook bell occurs on peaty soils on slopes in the western part of the Stirling Range National Park.
