Willow Leaved Hakea is a fast-growing shrub with a dense habit and profuse flower displays of small, creamy white flowers through winter and spring. However, it is the foliage that captures your attention. One look at its eye-catching willow-like fronds and you’ll know why it’s rightfully named the Willow-leaved Hakea - mature leaves are narrow and oval-shaped, with a lovely pale green colour tinged with a bluish tint. New growth, on the other hand, presents a darker shade of green. The flowers mature into knobbly seed pods with a lot of character. It is a beautiful small tree or bushy shrub that can be used as a stand-alone tree, mixed with other natives or hedged to great effect due to its fine narrow leaf and bushy habit. An annual prune will ensure it remains thick and bushy.
