Adenanthos sericeus Bronze Glow

Adenanthos sericeus 'Bronze Glow' is an attractive, evergreen shrub native to Australia, known for its soft, silky foliage and distinctive bronze coloring. This compact variety typically grows to about 1-1.5 meters in height and spread. The fine, needle-like leaves have a unique bronze tint that adds year-round interest to the garden. It also produces small, tubular red flowers that attract birds and pollinators.

To grow Adenanthos sericeus 'Bronze Glow', plant it in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-draining soil. It thrives in sandy or loamy soils and is tolerant of coastal conditions, making it ideal for seaside gardens. Water regularly during the establishment period, but once established, it is drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect the roots. Pruning is not necessary but can be done to maintain shape and size.

'Bronze Glow' is perfect for low hedges, borders, or as a feature plant in garden beds and containers, adding texture and color to the landscape.
