Diplolaena angustifolia Yanchep Rose
Diplolaena angustifolia Yanchep Rose
This fantastic native hails from the coastal plains of Western Australia. It is an evergreen shrub, growing to about 1 or 1.5m. It is highly prized in native gardens for its striking bell shaped flowers. Flowering in winter and spring, the red to orange fluffy flowers are wrapped in green felty bracts. They are loaded with nectar and pollen. And are a magnet for bees, butterflies, birds and pollinator insects.
Yanchep Rose thrive in well drained sandy soils in sunny or full sun positions. And are fantastic in coastal areas where poor soils and windy conditions exist. In heavier soils, amend with sand and plant in a raised mound. Or grow this beautiful plant in a pot with free draining native potting mix. And feed with a native plant rock mineral fertiliser such as Garden Delight.
We have beautiful plants in 140mm pots available in the nursery.
