Verticordia minutiflora is a small bushy shrub from south-west Western Australia, grown for its neat foliage and tiny scented white to pale pink flowers. It is hardy and readily grown from cuttings in a range of soils, provided it gets full sun and good drainage.
Verticordia minutiflora is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a bushy shrub with small, crowded, cylindrical leaves and groups of white to pale pink flowers in summer and autumn. As suggested by its botanical name, it has the smallest flowers of any verticordia.
Although described as "unspectacular", V.minutiflora is a hardy shrub with neat foliage. It is readily propagated from cuttings and can be grown in a range of soils.
This verticordia is found from near Esperance to Cape Arid and inland as far as Mount Burdett in the Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions. It is common near Esperance and is sometimes the dominant shrub, favouring areas near granite outcrops in gravelly soil.
