Growing Albany Woolly Bush

| I live in the Adelaide Hills where the weather can be cold and frosty to very hot. The native Albany Woolly Bush was suggested to me as a hedge to hide our iron fence. The spot we planted these lovely health plants is facing South (Hence the fence shades the bushes until late Spring and then full sun all day). However, they seem to be going backwards with some branches dying. The soil is very pliable and healthly and seems to drain well. I have only water them when first planted as it has rained on and off since. Does anyone have suggestions on why these plants are not growing? Is it lack of sun at this stage? Thank you Hobbsy |

| Adenanthos sericea is a member of the protaceae, so it could be that the soil is too good! It could be the sun issue like you mentioned? Maybe just wait and see how they go once they get a bit of sun on them. Cheers. |

| I suspect that the issue is the lack of sun and possibly lack of air movement around the plant. Also double check the drainage in the area where the plants are growing. Some gypsum added to the root zone and watered in may help this. |
