Hakea multilineata is an upright shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 6 metres (5 to 20 ft) and does not form a lignotuber.

This plant is also evergreen, retaining its leaves all year round providing an excellent addition to backyards and gardens.

Hakea multilineata is tolerant of medium frosts and grows best in an open sunny position that is very well drained.

[2][3][4][5] The species was first formally described by Swiss botanist Carl Meisner in 1848 and the description was published in Plantae Preissianae.

[8] Grass-leaved hakea grows from Dalwallinu and south to Ravensthorpe and east to the Shire of Yilgarn in scrubland or low woodland on laterite ridges or sandy to gravelly loams.
