Description

Dryandra praemorsa is a shrub that can reach 3 meters in height. Its leaves are holly-like but not thorny. It is native to south-western Australia and is not very hardy. The flowers are yellow. It should be planted in drained soil and not fertilized with phosphates. We bought it in 2018 from the “A l’ombre des figuiers” nursery.
