Weeping Peppermint Tree

Hakea laurina is a striking native plant found in the south-west of Western Australia. It is well known for its rounded flower heads, which are often red or pink with pale styles, giving them a bold, pincushion-like appearance.

Its leathery green leaves and distinctive flowers make it an important part of many native gardens. When in bloom, Hakea laurina attracts birds and insects, offering food and habitat within the garden.

As you look at this plant, notice how its flowers stand out among the foliage. Like many plants in the Menang Garden, it helps support local wildlife and reflects the rich plant life of the region.
