Darwinia meeboldii, the Cranbrook bell, is a shrub which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.^[2] It has an erect and straggly habit, growing to between 0.5 and 3 metres high.^[2] The bracts around the flowers form a pendent "bell" which is usually white with red tips.^[3] A group of 8 small flowers are concealed inside. These are primarily produced between August and November.^[2]^[3]

It occurs on peaty soils on slopes in the western part of the Stirling Range National Park.^[2]^[4]

Use in horticulture[]

The species requires good drainage and protection from direct sun.^[3] It is difficult to propagate from seed, but cuttings strike readily.^[3] Grafting on stocks of Darwinia citriodora may be carried out in areas with unsuitable growing conditions including high humidity.^[3]
