Summary

Diplolaena dampieri, commonly known as Dampier’s Rose, is a perennial shrub native to the coastal sand dunes and limestone cliffs of Western Australia. It typically grows to a height of 1.5 meters (4 feet 11 inches) with a spreading, rounded habit. The leaves are elliptic to oblong-elliptic, slightly leathery, and aromatic. Diplolaena dampieri produces pendulous flowers at the ends of branches, with petals ranging from orange to pale red, about 5 mm (0.20 in) long, and edged with small hairs. The flowers, which appear from July to September, are not particularly showy but are interesting due to their unique bract arrangement and hairiness.

Dampier’s Rose is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in coastal conditions, making it suitable for seaside gardens, xeriscaping, and as a low-maintenance ornamental shrub in warm climates. It is often used in native plant gardens and revegetation projects. This shrub prefers full sun to part shade and can tolerate a range of soil types, provided they have good drainage. While generally pest and disease-free, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
