Homoranthus flavescens
Propagation: Seed
Cultivation: In Australian gardens this species succeeds in most situations except very shady or very wet[157.
Plants tolerate temperatures down to about -7°c in Australian gardens, though this cannot be applied directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers that fail to fully ripen the wood and our longer, wetter winters[1][K].
Range: Australia.
Habitat: Well-drained low-fertility heathland and woodland soils.
Usage: An essential oil is obtained from the leaves. It has a banana-like aroma[2].
Soil: Can grow in light, medium, and heavy soils.
Flower Type: Hermaphrodite
