Description
Adenanthos x cunninghamii 'Lighthouse', commonly known as the Albany Woolly Bush, is a compact and hardy native shrub originating from Western Australia. Its soft, silvery-green foliage forms a dense, rounded shape, reaching a height of approximately 1.5 metres and a width of 1 metre, making it ideal for smaller garden spaces or as a textured filler plant in native landscapes. Thriving in full sun, it performs well in well-draining soil and is tolerant of Perth's dry climate, providing a low-maintenance option for water-wise gardens.
From Early Spring (Djilba) to Late Spring (Kambarang), 'Lighthouse' produces small red flowers that add a delicate splash of colour and attract local birdlife to the garden. As an evergreen perennial, it retains its lush appearance year-round, adding both texture and sensory interest to outdoor spaces. This Woolly Bush is non-toxic to both humans and pets, making it a safe and visually appealing choice for family-friendly gardens.
