Why we love this plant!

The Midgen Berry is a drought-tolerant, wildlife-friendly native plant that produces sweet, edible berries enjoyed by both birds and bush tucker enthusiasts. Its small, white flowers attract pollinators, while its spreading growth habit helps stabilise soil and improve ground cover. Ideal for native gardens and edible landscapes, this low-maintenance shrub thrives in a variety of conditions, supporting local biodiversity and sustainable gardening. Perfectly adapted to South East Queensland, it flourishes in coastal and inland gardens from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast.
