Adenanthos cuneatus 140mm

Unusual wedge-shaped, grey-green, foliage and a spreading habit make this coastal loving shrub stand out as a native ground cover. In the summer new leaf growth glows red adding a wonderful ornamental contrast to the mature grey-green leaves. 

Small, inconspicuous red flowers appear mostly over spring and are highly attractive to nectar feeding fauna. 

Adenanthos cuneatus is a member of the Proteaceae family, along with Banksias, Hakeas and Grevilleas.
