Pincushion Hakea

The Pincushion Hakea is one of Australias most beautifully iconic small trees, growing into a sturdy specimen between 3 and 6 meters tall. In late autumn and winter, it sets the garden alight by producing massive numbers of perfectly spherical, head-sized flower clusters that look like deep red cushions filled with glowing cream-to-golden pins. It features broad, eucalyptus-like grey-green leaves and serves as an unmatched structural focal point[cite: 27].
