Verticordia huegelii var. decumbens
Verticordia huegelii var. decumbens, commonly known as variegated featherflower, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an almost prostrate shrub, with creamish-lemon coloured flowers turning pink then red as they age, giving the plant a variegated appearance. It is similar to Verticordia huegelii var. huegelii but has a lignotuber and a lower growth habit.
This variety is easy to propagate from cuttings or from seed and is hardy and moderately frost tolerant when grown in well-drained but not sandy soils.
This variety of V. huegelii grows in sandy clay, gravel derived from granite in shrubland. It is found in isolated populations on the Darling Range between Mundaring and Williams and in areas north of Badgingarra in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Jarrah Forest biogeographic regions.
