Hakea francisiana (Pink Spike Hakea)

Hakea francisiana (Pink Spike Hakea)

Hakea francisiana, commonly known as Pink Spike Hakea, is an upright shrub to small tree endemic to Western Australia, valued for its strong architectural form and distinctive pink to deep rose flower spikes. Flowering typically occurs from late winter through spring, with cylindrical blooms held close to the stems, creating a bold vertical display.

The foliage is narrow, stiff, and deep green, giving the plant a crisp, structured appearance year-round. Its naturally upright habit makes it an excellent feature plant where clean lines and form are desired.

Adapted to dry, well-drained soils, Pink Spike Hakea is tolerant of heat, wind, and exposed conditions once established. The flowers attract birds and insects, while the dense branching provides habitat value.
