Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 3 units

Adenanthos sericeus ‘Platinum’ is a striking evergreen shrub native to Western Australia, prized for its finely divided, silvery-grey foliage that shimmers in sunlight. It grows to around 1.5–2 metres high and wide, forming a soft, airy shape with year-round visual appeal. Small red tubular flowers appear sporadically, attracting nectar-feeding birds.

In Australia, it thrives in full sun and well-drained sandy soils, particularly in coastal or Mediterranean-style climates. It is ideal for Melbourne and Adelaide gardens and can perform well in Sydney and Brisbane if planted in a sunny, well-ventilated position to avoid humidity-related issues.

‘Platinum’ is drought tolerant once established and benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells. It dislikes heavy clay or poorly draining soils. Minimal pruning helps maintain shape and promote fresh growth, and a low-phosphorus native fertiliser applied in spring supports health and vigour.

It pairs beautifully with other waterwise plants like Westringia, Grevillea ‘Moonlight’, Eremophila nivea, and Chrysocephalum. These companions complement its texture and colour while thriving under similar conditions.
