Through winter and into spring it produces dense pink to deep pink flower spikes packed along the older stems inside the canopy, feeding honeyeaters at a lean time of year. It is grown where a tough, upright, narrow native is wanted in a dry Mediterranean climate garden, and it will not thrive in humid summer rainfall districts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Grass Leaf Hakea\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright pink spikes crowd the stems from late autumn through winter into spring, well outside the usual flowering season.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long, flat, finely veined leaves give an unusual grassy texture uncommon in shrubs of this size.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow upright habit\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grows tall relative to its width, which suits tight beds and narrow side gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine drought hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Native to the dry inland wheatbelt of Western Australia and needs no summer water once established.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird attracting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nectar-rich flowers held on the inner stems are heavily worked by honeyeaters.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry climate native garden\u003c\/strong\u003e: A backbone shrub in Western Australian, South Australian and inland Victorian gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWindbreak and shelter row\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted in staggered lines on exposed rural blocks with sandy soil.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBird habitat planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Combined with banksias and grevilleas to give a continuous nectar supply across the seasons.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGravel and rockery beds\u003c\/strong\u003e: Set into unirrigated gravel gardens where the drainage is naturally sharp.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 to 3m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn to early winter in Mediterranean climates so roots establish over the wet season\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Demands sharp drainage in sandy, gravelly or lateritic soil.
