Why we love this plant!

This plant produces an abundance of fluffy, white flowers that resemble falling snow, making it a visually striking addition to the garden. This hardy Australian native is well-suited to South East Queensland, tolerating wet and dry conditions while supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its dense foliage provides shelter for small birds, and it is a good option for hedging, screening, or windbreaks. Its resilience and adaptability make it a valuable plant for both urban and rural landscapes.

Care Considerations

  • Moderate watering; tolerates wet conditions and seasonal flooding.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying organic mulch helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.​

Fertilising preferences:

  • Generally not necessary; if needed, use a low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser.

Pruning preferences:

  • A light prune after flowering can help maintain shape and encourage dense growth.

Good to Know:

  • Attractive to nectar-feeding birds, including honeyeaters, and various pollinating insects.
