A neat, naturally compact native shrub, prized for its dense growth habit that stays tidy with little to no clipping required. Its small grey-green foliage and delicate white flowers, appearing on and off through the year, give it soft year-round appeal. Tough and adaptable, it's an excellent low-maintenance choice for hedging or borders in Canberra gardens, coping well with frost, wind, and dry spells once established.
Position: Full sun to part shade
Soil: Well-draining; tolerates poor and sandy soils
Watering: Drought-tolerant once established; water in during establishment
Habit: Naturally dense and rounded — minimal pruning needed
Flowering: Small white flowers, on and off throughout the year
Hardiness: Frost and wind tolerant, ideal for Canberra's climate
