With stunning foliage colours, this hakea from West Australia is a real head turner. It is a tall and slim shrub, growing to around 2-3 metres tall and around a metre wide. The leathery leaves are sharply serrated and are in colours of dark green, yellow, orange and red. It is at its best in less humid areas where it develops the best foliage colour, and prefers a sunny spot in well drained soil.
