An openly branched Western Australian shrub with small clustered scented flowers, usually yellow, pink or cream, that bloom from September to December. It grows in sandy soil and has been propagated from cuttings, but young plants are prone to fungal disease.
Verticordia densiflora var. stelluligera is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an openly branched shrub with small leaves and small clusters of yellowish or pink and cream flowers. It is one of 5 varieties of the species Verticordia densiflora.
This variety has been propagated from cuttings but the young plants have been susceptible to fungus attacks. Plants treated with fungicide have grown well in sand topped with gravel. Cultivated plants have flowered well producing blooms that are attractive in floral arrangements and which, when dried retain their colour for a few months.
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 and Mullewa in the Avon Wheatbelt and Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic regions.
