It is endemic to the [[Southwest Australia|south-west]] of [[Western Australia]]. It grows as an erect shrub to 4&nbsp;m (13&nbsp;ft) in height, with hairy branches and long, narrow leaves up to 80 mm length and about 5 mm wide. The flowers, which appear between August and November, consist of a tubular perianth about 25 mm long, and a style about 40 mm long. The perianth is yellow with an orange throat that becomes brown following pollination.<ref name="Nelson 1995">{{cite encyclopedia | author = Nelson, Ernest Charles | year = 1995 | title = Adenanthos | editor = McCarthy, Patrick (ed.) | encyclopedia = [[Flora of Australia (series)|Flora of Australia]] | volume = 16 | pages = 314–342 | location = Collingwood, Victoria | publisher = CSIRO Publishing / Australian Biological Resources Study | isbn = 0643056920}}</ref> ==Cultivation== The species prefers well-drained, light soils in full sun to part shade,<ref name="ANPSA">{{cite web | title = ''Adenanthos detmondii'' | publisher = Australian Native Plant Society (Australia) | url = http://asgap.org.au/a-det.html | accessdate = 2010-03-21}}</ref> though, as its natural occurrence in winter-wet areas would suggest, it is hardier to poor drainage than most ''Adenanthos'' species.<ref name="Wrigley 1991"/> Naturally a dry-summer plant, it performs unexpectedly well in areas with wet or humid summers, though it is vulnerable to [[grey mould]] in such climates.
