Australia's floral emblem grows naturally in Victoria NSW and SA. An erect or spreading shrub or small tree with bright green leathery phyllodes. Through winter to spring racemes of perfumed golden balls make pycnantha 'Aussies' pride and joy. Pycnantha's botanical name is derived from the Greek pycnos (meaning close, thick, crowded) and anthos (flower). It alludes to the compact flower heads that characteristically contain many densely-arranged flowers.
The seed pod contains approximately 8 seeds. Propagation is by seed or cuttings.
