Adenanthos sericeus - Woolly Bush

Adenanthos sericeus, commonly known as the Woolly Bush, is a versatile Western Australian native shrub with soft, silver-grey foliage that brings a unique texture to large garden spaces in Perth. Growing between 2 and 6 metres in height and spreading 2 to 4 metres, this large native shrub or small tree is ideal for use as a feature plant or as an informal screening option. It thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil, making it a low-maintenance choice for Perth’s dry climate.

Flowering from Late Spring (Kambarang) through Early Summer (Birak), the Woolly Bush produces subtle red blooms that attract local birdlife, adding a touch of wildlife interest to the garden. As a perennial, it provides year-round greenery and texture, making it an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes. This plant is non-toxic, making it safe for both humans and pets, and its soft, feathery foliage adds a pleasant sensory element to any garden space.
