About

Verticordia densiflora var. rosteostella is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with small leaves and small groups of star-like, yellowish and pink flowers. It is one of 5 varieties of the species Verticordia densiflora.

How to grow it

This variety is difficult to propagate and few attempts have been successful. Its attractive appearance in flower in the wild suggests it has horticultural potential.

Where it grows

This variety of V. densiflora usually grows in sand, sometimes with gravel or loam, often with other species of Verticordia in heath and shrubland. It occurs between Kalbarri and Eneabba near the coast and as far inland as Morawa in the Avon Wheatbelt and Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic regions.
