$7.00

Eucalyptus macrocarpa, also known as Mottlecah, is one of WA's most striking natives and a true showstopper in any garden. A low, spreading mallee (4m tall) produces brilliant red flowers up to 10cm across, framed by large, silvery-blue leaves.

Flowering from late winter into spring, it draws in birds and other pollinators, drought-tolerant and well suited to sandy, gravelly, or well-drained soils, Eucalyptus macrocarpa is perfect for native gardens and feature planting.
