Adenanthos detmoldii 'Metallica' (Yellow Jugflower) - Medium sized upright growing shrub to 6 feet tall with near equal spread. It has narrow gland-dotted leaves arranged spirally on the upright stems that are at first slightly hairy but glabrous with age. The slightly hairy tubular yellow and orange flowers appear along the stems near the branch tips from mid winter until late spring. Plant in full coastal sun to dappled shade inland in medium to well-drained soils and irrigate occasionally. This species is regarded as being at risk in the wild. It is known to occur in a very restricted area in damp sandy flats at the southern tip of Western Australia. It is profusely flowering and attractive to nectar feeding birds. This species was described by Baron von Mueller, a German born Australian government botanist and Director of the Melbourne Botanical Gardens. He named this plant after his good friend William Detmold.  Information displayed on this page about  Adenanthos detmoldii 'Metallica' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
