Verticordia huegelii var. decumbens

decumbens, commonly known as variegated featherflower, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

The sepals are creamy-lemon coloured when they open, ageing to pink then red, 7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) long and lack lobes but are deeply divided with spreading hairs.

[2] The species, Verticordia huegelii was first formally described by Stephan Endlicher in 1837 and the description was published in Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel.

It is found in isolated populations on the Darling Range between Mundaring and Williams and in areas north of Badgingarra[2] in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Jarrah Forest biogeographic regions.

This variety is easy to propagate from cuttings or from seed and is hardy and moderately frost tolerant when grown in well-drained but not sandy soils.
