Hakea multilineatais naturally found throughout south-west Western Australia growing in low sclerophyll shrubland. It prefers a very well drained sandy gravely soil that is moderately fertile in an open sunny to protected positions and is frost and drought tolerant.

The Grass-leaf Hakea is grown for its upright habit and flowers. It is planted along borders in small native gardens for screening or as a specimen to attract birds. It is suitable for inland regions establishing in 2-3 years and is moderately long lived. This Western Australia species will grow in the humid eastern states but the lifespan can be improved with grafted plants. ID 3183
