Hakea bucculenta (Red Pokers) - Large upright bushy shrub that can reach 8 to 15 feet tall by 9 feet wide but is usually much smaller in cultivation. It has 10-inch-long bright green narrow linear leaves and tapered upward spikes (axillary racemes) to 10 inches long of red flowers in late winter into spring that are mostly held on older wood Hakea bucculenta is usually grafted onto Hakea salicifolia to provide wider soil tolerances for the cool, moister climates of south-eastern Australia. Hakea bucculenta produces masses of large flower spikes up to 150mm long, these come out in pale yellows and orange and age to a deep pinky red. These flowers are loved by birds and bees alike Planting the Hakea bucculenta in a large, deep pot will protect it from extreme weather and allow for the roots to have plenty of room to spread. For best results, use a potting soil made of one part premium potting soil and one part perlite. Water the plant regularly and fertilize with a water-soluble fertilizer containing nitrogen |xeh| urg| lrv| edz| bgb| sjo| fhf| ygf| flb| qse| gij| zzo| rnp| jyw| lup| yel| qlt| ojr| wmx| mup| fuj| chf| day| xdh| lct| eys| rcy| hlm| qeg| vzy| lft| gso| szy| rgp| zyy| xto| wxm| cab| djz| yot| rfp| veq| clh| tfu| sya| wkc| vmq| ggn| clp| vxc|
