$7.00

Hakea francisiana, commonly known as the emu tree, is a striking shrub or small tree growing from 3 to 5 metres. It is best known for its spectacular clusters of 10cm long racemes (flowers) that range in colour from pink to deep red, appearing in late winter through spring and attracting birds and pollinators. Because of it's open growth habit the flowers are well displayed.

 Hardy and drought tolerant once established, Hakea francisiana thrives in many soil types and full sun, making it a popular choice for gardens, windbreaks and habitat plantings in dry climates.
