Adenanthos Coral Carpet, Woolly Bush

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

Adenanthos Coral Carpet, commonly known as Woolly Bush, is a low-growing, spreading shrub prized for its fine, soft, silver-green foliage that forms a dense, mat-like cover. This Australian native is highly ornamental and reaches a height of 30–50 cm with a spread of up to 1.5 meters, making it ideal for ground cover, rockeries, or coastal gardens. Its small red flowers appear intermittently, attracting birds and pollinators.

To grow Coral Carpet, plant it in full sun to light shade with well-drained, sandy or loamy soil. It thrives in coastal conditions, tolerates drought, and can handle light frost, making it suitable for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane climates. Water moderately during establishment, then reduce watering as it becomes hardy. Avoid over-fertilizing, especially with phosphorus-rich products. Minimal pruning is needed to maintain its shape, making it a low-maintenance choice for native and modern gardens.
