Large flowered guichenotia (Guichenotia Macrantha)
 
 
Guichenotia macrantha is a small to medium shrub from 1 to 2 metres in height by a similar width. The leaves are linear in shape, about 10 - 25 mm long and grey-green in colour. The pink to mauve flowers appear in spring and are conspicuously displayed. The petals are very small and the sepals provide the colourful parts of the flowers.
 
 
This is a popular garden plant that has been in cultivation for many years. Although native to a dry summer climate, G.macrantha is reasonably hardy in well drained soils in temperate areas of the eastern states, unlike many other plants from a similar natural habitat. It prefers well drained soils in partial shade but it will tolerate more exposed locations. It tolerates extended dry conditions once established.
 
 
Propagation can be carried out from seed which does require Smoke treatment to aid germination . This can be purchased from our ebay seed store as smoked vermiculite.
