Hakea salicifolia, commonly known as Willow-leaved Hakea, is a fast-growing Australian native shrub or small tree prized for its slender, willow-like leaves and clusters of creamy-white, scented flowers. Blooming mainly in winter and spring, the nectar-rich flowers attract birds, bees, and other pollinators. Typically reaching 5 to 8 meters tall and 2 to 3 meters wide, it forms a dense, upright screen or windbreak, ideal for privacy planting. Hakea salicifolia thrives in full sun to part shade and well-drained soils, and is tolerant of coastal conditions, drought, and light frost. It’s a hardy, low-maintenance choice for native and mixed landscapes.
