Hakea myrtoides
Myrtle hakea is a low, ground-hugging Western Australian shrub with small myrtle-like leaves and clusters of mauve, pink or crimson flowers in winter and early spring. It needs a well-drained, open, sunny site, and is often grafted onto Hakea salicifolia to grow in wider soil conditions.
Hakea myrtoides, commonly known as myrtle hakea, is a shrub endemic to the woodlands of the Darling Range near Perth in Western Australia.
A restricted species growing near Perth with intermittent occurrences north to Victoria Plains, it grows in lateritic sandy clay, granite outcrops and wandoo woodlands. It is an ornamental garden plant good for rockeries and as a ground cover in a well-drained, open, sunny site.
