Its unusual bell-shaped display begins soft pink, deepening to a rich pink as it matures and flaring to form a prominent bell at the ends of the branches.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWhat appears to be a single flower is actually a cluster of around ten small flowers surrounded by large colourful bracts, forming a bell up to approximately 30mm long. Flowering occurs in spring, standing out against the plant's fine, narrow foliage.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn the wild, Darwinia oxylepis has a very restricted distribution and is listed as Endangered under the EPBC Act, making it a particularly interesting Australian native for collectors and enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMature size: approximately 1–1.5 metres high\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDarwinia oxylepis requires excellent drainage and is best grown in a well-drained position with some protection from direct summer sun.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFor Melbourne gardens, careful site selection is important.
