Latin Name:  Persoonia mollis
Family:  Proteaceae
Author:

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  1.8   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Heaths and woodlands on sandy and stony soils[193].

Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know how hardy it will be in Britain. Plants tolerate temperatures down to at least -7°c in Australian gardens, though this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer colder and wetter winters. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Requires a warm position in full sun in a freely draining preferably sandy slightly acid soil, preferring a pH around 6.3 to 6.5[200]. Soils should be low in nutrients, especially nitrates and phosphates[200].
