Leucopogon darlingensis is a small erect Western Australian shrub in the heath family with white bell-shaped flowers and a native woodland habitat. It is a wild native rather than a common garden plant, so care is best modelled on other Leucopogon heaths: free-draining, acidic soil and low-nutrient conditions.
Leucopogon darlingensis is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with hairy young branchlets, spirally arranged, linear, oblong, narrowly elliptic or narrowly egg-shaped leaves and white, bell-shaped flowers arranged in upper leaf axils and at the ends of branches.
This leucopogon grows in woodland on the Darling Range. Subspecies darlingensis occurs on the eastern part of the range, from near York to North Bannister and Wandering in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest bioregions of south-western Western Australia. Subspecies rectus has a more restricted distribution between Williams, the Dryandra Woodland and Highbury in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest bioregions.
