Hakeas are wonderful hardy plants of the proteaceae family, related to grevilleas and largely ignored by the australian gardener. I intend this to be a starting point for discussions and ideas for growing hakeas in the home garden.

For more information on Hakeas and other Australian Plants, please consider joining the Australian Plants Society (NSW, Vic, Tas, SA), AKA SGAP (Qld, Canberra), or Wildflower Society of Western Australia - 7 regional groups which make up the Association Of Societies for Growing Australian Plants (ASGAP). There is a Hakea study group worth joining within the organisation as well.
