Wildflowers
Morawa is proudly known as the Heart of the Wildflowers, and for good reason. The region is home to one of Western Australia’s most diverse displays of native flowering plants, attracting visitors from across Australia and around the world each wildflower season.
From late winter through to early October, the Shire comes alive with colour. Explore our roads, reserves, and natural bushland areas to discover an incredible variety of wildflowers, including many species unique to the district.
While the spectacular carpets of everlastings are a major attraction, Morawa is internationally renowned for the rare and distinctive Wreath Flower (Leschenaultia macrantha), one of Western Australia’s most iconic wildflowers and our incredible variety of native orchids.
The Shire's diverse landscape supports a remarkable range of species, including bright orange wild pomegranate, pink native foxgloves, numerous orchid varieties, grevilleas, acacias, purple darwinia, dampiera, thryptomene, smokebush, woody pear, cassias, eremophilas, blue cornflowers, and yellow bells.
As wildflower displays vary from year to year depending on seasonal conditions and rainfall, we recommend checking local flowering conditions before planning your visit.
For the latest information on where to find the best blooms, contact the Morawa Visitor Information Centre on 0408 610 514 or visit our friendly volunteers at the Old Roads Board Building, located on the corner of Prater and Dreghorn Streets in Morawa.
They will be happy to share local knowledge and help you make the most of your wildflower experience.
The Visitor Information Centre is run by our dedicated volunteers and is open during the wildflower season from July to September, with opening hours varying throughout the season. You can also stay up to date with the latest wildflower reports, bloom locations, and seasonal highlights by following the Visitor Centre on Facebook and Instagram.
