Hakea suaveolens
Sweet Hakea
Description
This broad shrub or tree quickly grows 10'-20' tall and wide, with a rounded habit. It has small, needle-like, dark green, evergreen leaves that have sharp ends, thus making it a great barrier plant. Clusters of fragrant white flowers bloom in winter and fall, followed by brown seed capsules in spring or summer. This shrub or tree does best in full sun with clay, loamy or sandy soil. It tolerates coastal conditions; established plants are drought tolerant. Great plant in urban areas as it survives smog. Birds and bees love this plant. Litter with dropping seed capsules.
